Wasuincton, D. d., March 27.—It wal Con- gressman Charlie Mansur who sad: A John 3 Tarsney thinks that be can come dere to Washington from Kansas Oity and shake up the whole Missouri delegation as he would a tin-pan full of peas he is very much mis- taken.’’ Tarsney is looking out for the improvement of the Missouri River from Kansas City to St. Louls, in accordance with the plans of the Missour! River Commission, which is to be- gin at Kansas City and work south continu- @usiy and not jump around from place to place along the river, making improvements which only last fora short time. In this year’s - @ppropriation bill Tarsney wants $1,000,000 for the Missouri! River to expend. Congressmen John Heard, Dick Norton, Charlie Mansur and | ery are all up in arms at Tareney for ‘Wanting things done this way. They fear that the River and Harbor Committee is raiber in- clined to give Taraney a lump appropriation for the Missouri than to give to each of them speeial appropriations for their small towns long the river. There is Mr. Mansur, who Wants something done for Grand River in his Gistrict, a river that would hardly float a fiatboat. Dick Norton wants a Ame bullt at the expense of the Government at Clarkesville, Mo. John Heard wants a dry ‘@ock erected at Miami, the needs of whiob can Dardiy be comprehended. ‘‘Doctor’’ Dock- ery, while he lives in a cold water district,’’ Nasen t any river front to look after nearer than the Missouri, but he don't like Tarsney’s way of doing business. These Congressmen, or some of them, have circulated a report that ‘Senator Vest is opposed to Tarsney’s plans of Missouri River improvements, and that be Wants special appropriations made for here and there. Learning of the report the Senator denied it and said that he did not thank its originators; that de approved the course of Mr. Tarsney as recommended by the Missouri River Commission. When the time arrived for the members of Congress from Missouri! to present their argumeats before the River and Harbor Committee none of them were prepared to speak in detail but Mr. Tarency. The committee listened to what he had to say and gave him to understand that they might expect some opposition to their bill from the other Mis sour! members, who have been named, when the bill went into the House on its pas- sage. Mr. Tarsney informed Mr. Henderson, Chairman oi the committee, that he need have no fear on tust score as they were ail candi- dates for Governor of Missouri. The Speaker of the House of Representatives is himself somewhat alarmed atthe enormity of ex- —— that are being calculated for by the present Congress. In talking to a Mis- souri member on the subject of public build- ings he said if he knew how much worry and annoyance such matters were giving him through the plead- of various meambers he would De surprised; that tne time had arrived when he could make no further promises for recox- nition of such measures beforehand. The public does not generally understand that up tothe present time about seventy bills for public buildings have been placed on the calendar. When a public building bill passes the House to-day, it must not be understood that it carries with it an yp eye The pro- cess is first to pase a bill for a ay building for such a place, then he oil goes to tne Committee on Appropriations, who recommend how much money shali be allowed for thefirst year’s construction of the buliding, the next Congress — ex- pected to continue such appropriation from eg to year until the bullding is finished. In his wise itis expected thata large number Ot pubſio bullding billie will pass, the total sums appropriated for this year representing but one-third, or one-fourth or one-fifth of What all the buildingsthus started will cost in the end. Thus ifthe next House is Demo- cratic, u may have quite a costly legacy left it by the present Congress. Pacific Ratlroads’ Indebtedness. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 27.—After dis- cussing the question fora month the House Committee on Pacific Railroads this morning reached adecision respecting the method to pursued in the treatment of bills looking te the pay- nt the Government indebted- ness of the Union and Central Pacific Rall roads. On motion of Mr. Cooper a resolution was adopted which binds the committee to report one bill covering both companies in its provisions and subsequently another motion revalied to take up at the next meeting the IH reported by the Senate Committee. But one member of the committee was absent from the meeting, ana the opposition te the adoption of the Cooper resolution was con- fined to three members. Mr. Mason made mn argument in support of the motion, in the urse of which he took the ground that the committee desired to accomplish legisiation it must report the combination s the House could never be prevailed — a separate measure in the case of raliroad. everal propositions in the mature of amcondments or substitutes providing for a post ement of the entire subject until the next sion of Congress and for the re- rting of separate bills in the case of the nion Pacific and the Central Pacific, were rejected before the question was put and car- ried on the Cooper resolution. As a matter of bil reported by the Senate Oemmitvtese has not reached the House Committee, 0 that ite consideration will probably be preliminary in natere. but this work will be considerably lightened Owing to the fact that the committee has already considered the Outwaite pill which is similar to that part of the Senad Committee bill which concerns the Union Pacific and only the sections relating to the Oentral Pacific remain to be disposed of. fact, the The Valentine Scrip. WasninocTon, D. C., Mareh %.—In the case of Frank Burus and others, who made applica- tion to locate Valentine scrip on certain vacant landsfnegr Seattle, Wash., which are below high-water mark, but known as tide lands,the Becretary of the Interior has decided that such land is not within the intent of tha act of Con- grees authorizing the issue of Valentine scrip and its location upon public lands of the United States. He holds, further, that since the location was —— unsurveyed lands it as merely a preference righ such location after the surye aime of all others except tes, but until such locatio the puvlic surveys the Unit thority to dispose of the lands covered there- by. Such disposition, he holds, was made of the tract in controversy by the admission of Washington into the Union as a State; benee, even were it to be conceded that tue lands Were atthe date of location subjectto dis- by the General Government, the rights { the State are superior tot of the scrip licants.

C., March 27.—The Mouse bill to mend the census act of March 8, 1899, was reported from the Census Committee, the effect of it being to sllow special agents a day for subsistence when traveling, and after explaination by Mr. Hale was passed. Among the bills reported from the committees and placed on the calendar were the follow- ing: The House joint resolution to continue in foree an act authorizing the construction ofa bridge over Bayou Bernard, Miss., Sen- ate bill to authorize the construction of a bridge across the Mississippi River between the mouth of the lilinois and the mouth of the Missour! Rivers. Mr. Hawley, trom the Committee on Military Affairs, reported back the House bill authoriz- ing the purchase of 2,500 tents by the Secre- tary of War for the use ofthe people driven from their bomes in Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana by the yo floods and ap- propriating $25 for the purpose. Mr. Edmunds, while declaring himself in favor ot the bill, called the attention to it of the Senators who were troubled about the Constitution in the appropriating of money for objects not K named in the in- strument. After a brief discussion, in which it wae steted that there had been no requests for tents from either Arkansas or Mississippi and only indirectly from the Governor o Loulsiana, the bill was passed. The Heuse. WasHINGTON, D. C., March 27.—The House me at 11 o’clock in continuation of Wednes- day’ssession, and the Wyoming admission bill was again taken up for consideration. Mg. Outhwaite of Ohio opposed the bill, basing his op it ion upon the Insufficiency of popu- irtion in the proposed State. Mr. Buckalew of Pennsylvania aiso eB the meas- ure, declaring that it was a be held out to Congress by the local offige-seeking element in the Territory. It was intended to pack the United States Senate, a Senate already having eight new Republican seats, six fairly held and two stolen. Mr. MeAdoo of New — said that the Constitution of Wyoming, if not the worst constitution ever adopted, was abreast of the worst. There was in the Constitution almost everything that was bad in politics, morals and ‘economics. The only good thing in it was the clause which allowed it to „be amended. It held out to the European syndi- cate an advertisement that Wyoming was the to which they should hasten their , In order to gobbie up the public lands. r. Springer ot Lllinois commented upon the small attendance of members when a bill of this importance was before the House. The position he had taken in regard to the Terri- tories was an advanced one. In the last Con- gress be had favored the admission of the four new States. At this session he bad in- troduced an omnibus dil, because he thought that all the Territories should be treated fairly and squarely. The Wyoming bill ave women the right of suffrage. The daho bill deprived the Mormons, men and women, of the right to vote. The reason for this was thatin Wyoming the Mormons voted the Republican ticket while in Idabo it was suspected that they voted the Democratic ticket. Mormonism was no objection to the admission of a State, except when the people having that belief were suspected of having «a desire to vote the Democratic ticket. He be- lieved that if the Mormons of Utah would vote ste other side would railroad a bill through the House for the admission of that Territory as State.

EDWARD BELLamy, the apostle of Na- tionalism, in a recent article outlining the aimsof his party, presents a pro- gramme which is far more practical than any which has been offered by him or his associates heretofore. " Of course, Mr. BELLAMY cannot resist suggesting the view of Nationalism as a panacea for all the ills of the human race. It is natural perhaps that he should do so in his enthusiasm for what he con- delves to be a great social reform. But while these dreams of general good and the substitution of benevolence and mutual co-operation for selfish greed and bitter competition capti- vate all generous and intelligent persons by their moral beauty, yet the mass of people demand practical and definite propositions which are within the range of feasibility. They shrink from sudden great changes and prefer the gradual and experimental method of ar- riving at economic reforms. Mr. BELLAMY endeavors to satisfy this popular demand by limiting the first aims of his party to certain well-defined pur- poses. These embrace the contro] of rail- road, telegraph and telephone enterprises by the government and the municipaliza- tion of public services, such as lighting, heating, street transportation and other distinctively public enterprises requiring valuable monopolistic franchises. The immense power in the hands of rail- road and telegraph corporations to make or mar cities, sections of country and individuals by discrimination, the heavy burdens Aid upon commerce by stock-watering jobs and the undeniable success of the municipalization of public services as far as tried incline the public to a favorable consideration of these propositions. Thereisan excellent basis of justice and good judgment under them and the trend of popular sentiment, led by some of the ablest minds, isin this di- rection. The fear of placing too much power in the hands of the dominant political party by giving it control of an army of ap- pointive employes restrains many from favoring further governmental control of business enterprises. But this would be little worse than the control of armies of employes by corporations willing to bar- gain with any party for their votes, and there is fortunately hope of relief from this corrupting factor in public affairs through the extension of the civil-service law to all departments of the Govern- ment. nn | — a AUTHORITY OVER RATES. A rate for switching fixed by the Min- nesota Legislature has been pronounced unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court on the ground that the rate is not a fair compensation and amounts to a taking of private property without due process of law. The Court was divided on the question of its own authority and several of the Justices, in- cluding BRADLEY and Gray, dissented. If the court of last resort, and not the legislative power of the country, is to de- cide what is just compensation and what is not, then the same tribunal must de- termine whether stock-watering is just or not and how far it may be carried. The question of compensation for rail- roads is a question of the cost of render- ing the service and interest on the capital actually invested. A railroad rate that pays a well-employed company a net profit of 5 per centon a capitalization of $25,000 per mile would yield a very poor return if the company were permitted to capitalize at $100,000 per mile, and include in the list of its expenditures enormous salaries to its principal stockholders as officers. Now whois to draw the line on a com- pany’s expenditures and decide whether or not it shall be permitted to quadruple its capitalization and consequently its charges far service? It the question of fair rates is to be determined exclusively by the judicial authority, does it not fol- low that itis for the United States Su- —, nn. to fix the amount of water upon which each road shall compel its patrons to pay dividends? If the Supreme Court assumes exclusive authority over this matter for hands full. 1 nn ” SHERMAN does not care how many amendments are piled upon his anti-trust bill. Its introduction enabled him to print in the Congresstonal Record the court decision denouncing Gen. ALGER’S Match Trust as an unlawful and piratical monopoly, and reciting ALGER’S own ad- missions as witness in the case. But it was hardly necessary to knife ALGER so cru- elly. By his open opposition to service pensions while traveling from post to post in his private palace car as the head of the G. A.R., Gen. ALGER is fast demolish- ing his presidential boom. a> * a 1 = THE administration has recognized the Irish Republican element 6f this State by the appointment of Mr. W. P.

As such it will command general approval, and in other respects it preme Court, and not for any Legislature, | the whole country it will soon have its business ability; he is certain to make a good record, and to represent us credita- bly abroad. IN opposing the admission of Idaho, with a Constitution which disfranchises all who belong to a particular church, the Democrats take strong ground and say they will never vote to admit any State which disfranchises any citizen or class of citizens for anything except conviction of crime. Then they turn round and say they will vote against the admission of Wyoming because its Constitution does not disfranchiss the women, who are per- haps guilty of fewer crimes than any other class of the population. What self- contradiction! — — . Wuen letters referring to census busi- ness are held in the Census Office or are delayedin the mails for two months the census officials should go slow in criticis- ing city officials for unnecessary delay in transmitting reports.

The failure of these officials to at- tend to their duties properly made the defalcations possible. Tux Union Market Areade bill has the strongest possible arguments in its favor and the indorsement of nearly all who are in any way interested in the measure. To permit the bill to fall or to linger longer in committee shows an indifference to public interests on the part of city leg- islators which is culpable. —— — — In an article which we reprint to-day from the New York WORLD, GLADSTONE states that his head has increased in size in thé last twenty years.

Pan-American Subsidies, From the New York Times, As was generally expected, the Pan-Ameri- can Conference has agreed to report in favor of a liberal system of subsidies both to steam- ship and submarine cable companies. The ‘| provision that the subsidy, if granted, shall be paid by the different countries subscribing accord ing to their population necessarily throws the greatest burden upon the United States, but it is as fair an arrangement as any if subsidies are to be paid at all. We venture to think, however, that the labors of the con- ference will bear little, if any, fruit. The present majority in Congress is getting so badly tangled on the revenue question, there are 80 many demands upon the ‘‘surplus,’’ and there is so little chance that there will be any, that the conflicting claims of rival sub- sidy beggars are likely to defeat one another. The Bobtail Car Uslawful. From the Indianapolis News. The decision of Judge Howland that bobtall street cars are illegal is good sense as well as good law. In some cities they are expressly forbidden by statute. In this city the com- pany has been ordered to put double-end cars on, and has coolly refdsed to obey the Coun- cil. Years ago when the same question came up under the Johnson ownership of the street cars, were illegal by their simple existence without other law than the company’s charter. That provides for cars ofthe latest improved pat- tern. There His been no time when a court would not hold, as Judge Howland has now held, that bobtall cars are not such cars. The people of this community have submitted to them too long. Abolishing the States. From the Philadelphia Times. Mr. MoOomas is another reformer who thinks that the States can be governed more wisely by Congress than by their own ‘ Legis- latures. He even thinks the Legislatures can be compelled to do right by act of Congress. He preposes an act to the effect that Con- gressional districts shall always be formed of ‘‘compact and contiguous territory, as though this were not already provided in every State Constitution. There could be no | more distinct instructions on this subject than the Constitution of Pennsylvania, pro- vides, and yet there hes seldom been a more flagrant gerrymander than the present ar- rangement of districts in this State. Much good an act of Congress would do. What MoKinley’s Tariff Will Deo, From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.

The knowing ones present wou FEASTED AND WINED The Members of the Assembly Railroad Corporattons. Cigars and Extra Dry Cut a Figure in Municipal Legislation. Interesting Incidents in Connection With the Passage of Bills Last Night, Giving Valuable Franchises te Corporations— The Passage of the Central & Western Bill a Hasty Proceeding—The Possible Financial Ruin of a Member ef the Council Urged en the House as a Ren- son Why the Electric Lighting Co, Should Have Its Time Extended—Un- usual Hast in the Passage of Bills, The Municipal Assembly had a high ola time of it last night and as a result some of the members are to-day nursing sick headaches and inwardly swearing off until the next time. Both houses met and passed bills giv- ing important and valuable privilges to street railway compeales and other corporations with a speed almost beyond precedent. The representatives of these corporations were on hand of course, and took the most audacious liberties on the floors of both houses. They brought in boxesof fragrant cigars, and passed them around among the members to get them in the humorto give away valuable franchises without stopping too long to consider. BULE 89 on both sides of the municipal barn, and fragrant. tobacco smoke rose in dig. large clouds. The members of both branches seemed to appreciate these favors received from the hands of the lobbyists; at least that was the opinion formed by the disinterested spectators who sat in the lobbies and saw the bills slide through as though everything was greased for the occasion. There is a rule in force in both branches prohibiting persons other than mem- bers, ex- members and newspaper men from the priviléges of the floor, but tnis was also suspended last evening. The bpilis authoriz- ing the Mound Oity, Lindell and other railway companies to change their motive power went through as if they were fired out ofa rifle. The members who are usually cautious about such matters did not appear to be as careful as usual, judging by the way they let the bills go to engrossment and passags. To lllustrate the EXTREME HASTE that was resorted to it is only necessary to re- fer to the Broadway bill. This is a measure which authorizes the St. Louis Railway Co. (Broadway line) to change its motor and lay additional tracks on Broadway from Chero- kee to Elm street, Seventh street from Cherokee to Spruce street and a doubie track on Spruce street from Broadway to Seventh street. When this bill was called up in the Council last evening, a member of the Rail- road Committee remarked that only one per- son had presented objections to the ordinance and that no serious attention should be paid to the protest, for the reason that he did not own any property on the streetswhere it was proposed to lay additional tracks. This announcement satisfied the members, and no time was lost ordering the bill to engross- } The Engrossment Committee was in AN OBLIGING MOOD and seeing the anxiety of the Broadway street railway people to get the bill through as speedily as possible, it retired, and in short order reported the ordinance truly engrossed. The company had in the meantime arranged to have the bill run off ona type-writing ma- chine, 30 as not to keep the committee or the Council waiting for it. The bill was passed and sent over to the House to get its first reading. The other rail- road bills were treated in the same way, much to the satisfaction of the pald representatives | of these companies, who were on hand to look to their interests. the Councll act with witb other classes of .bilis? was question that suggested itself to the minds of some of the spectators.

They all pronounced THE QGIGARS of an excellent flavor, and the remark was made that the promoters of the Rindell Rail- way and proposed Vandeventer avenue road had most excellent taste in selecting the best imported brands. This was only a remark, however, and it r that these promoters d ia not stand this treat. 3 THE ELECTRIC LIGHT CONTRACTS. While the Council was giving the railroad companies everything they asked the House of Delegates was making the heart of Chas. Sutter of the Municipal Electric Lighting Oo. happy. Mr. Sutter, it will be remembered, received contracts from the Board of Public Improvements more than a year ago to light the streets by electricity. The contract clearly specified that the 1 should com- mence January 1. 1890, but Mr. Sutter’s com- pany was not ready, and for that matter is still unprepared to the fuilfill- ment of the provisions. The contract Mr among otber things that if the lighting did not commence on time the defaulting company would be fined $1,000 per * untl it was ready to illuminate the 0 olty. BSCAPE THE PENALTY T Mr. Sutter had a bill introduced in the Coun- cil extending the time for the commencement of the lighting until April 1.

Roethb, it wil be remembered, was the proprietor of an al- leged school of telegraphic instruction on Third street, through which he is alleged to have carried on for many months a systematic swindle, obtaining sums varying from $25 to $40 for instructions which have been pro- nounced by competent experts to be prac- tically valueless. Labor Commissioner Lee Merriwether hae taken hold of the matter and has been pushing the fellow hard. Sev- era] days ago a warrant was sworn out charg- ing him with a violation ofthe misdemeanor section in inserting ina newspaper an adver- tisement of a misleading nature. The evidence in this case was not conclusive, and the fellow was discharged. Two new warrants for fraud were then sworn out, on one of which Roeth was made the defendant to-day. The prosecuting witness was Gustave McDaniel, a young man from HNHlinois who elaimed to have been defrauded out of $25. me twenty young ladies and gentlemen testified as to the character of the school and tele- grapbic experts from the Western Union Co. were on the stand.

A $48,000 BOULEVARD SALE. Another large transaction in vacant West End property, aggregating $48,000, was con- summated by the frmof L. V. Cartan & Oo. to-day. The ground they sold hasan aggre- gate frontage of 802 feet. It faces 875 feet on the west line of Taylor avenue, 401 feet on the north line of Forest Park boulevard, and 401 feet on the south side of Laciede avenue. In the sale the Boulevard property was estimated at $70 a foot and that on Laclede avenue at $50. There is no choicer pate of that locality, for t lies at grade and requires nothing done to make it readily saleable. The two corners on Taylor avenue have extra ‘value. Being situated at the southwest corner of Laciede and the northwest corner of the Boulevard they are especially desirable for residence sites vill command high prices. It land in and has ei been a few days since E. C. Simmons Monday. Onday paid $100 a foot for ground nea opposite to nis at the corner of Taylor avenue and Pine street, and $110 a foot was rejected for another corner at Pine street and Taylor avenue last All these Taylor avenue corners are pon with much favor, and have been selling lately at good figures, from 4 Biss — Nos foot on Merherson to as high as 5100 south, and 5180 ls asked for the south west cor- ner of Lindell.

This sale of boulevard property by Cartan & Co. is the opening gun of a very active campaign which will shortly be commenced on that thoroughfare and is the lurgest single sale that has yet been made there. The site bas some historical interest. It was formerly the residence place of Edward Bates, Attorney-General under. President Lincoin’s administration, and afterwards the home of the old and well-known commission merchant, Maj. Booth. His sons, John W. and Thomas Booth, are the grantors for whom Certan & Co. sold the ground to the representative of a local estate for which it Was purchased as an investment, and it will ' deubtiess prove to be a very valuable one.

Tne Olympic was well filled yesterday after- noon forthe production of ‘‘Nora’’ by the Mansfield company, with Miss Cameron as Nora. Her presentation of the character was a perfect one und elicited much praise. At nighS there was a large audience for Mr. Mansfield’s first appearance during this en- gagement in A Parisian Romance. There is much that can be sald against the play, ag showing aside ofa certain kind ot lite that should be left In obscurity, but for Mr. Mans- field’s presentation of Baron Ohevrial too much cannot be said in praise. It is remem- bered from a former engagement as one of the most perfect pieces of acting and at the same time one of the most dimcult and trying seen on the stage in recent years. And Mansfield last night had certainiy lost pone of his force. Artistic and strong in everything be does made Baron Chevrial one of the remarkable, crea- tions of the century. The banquet scene is particularly strong, though he is effective throughout the pis . In thie soene, however, he reaches the max, and his audience is completely carried away as he expires as the curtain goes down. The audience last night loudl emanded his appearance before the curtain, hut Mr. Mansfield believes in con- sistency, and practicing it, and. just having died, refused to accept the compliment of the call. The company also did well in the sentation of the piay. Mise Cameron made a splendid Rosa, and Miss Beverly Sit ves won many friends for her simplicity as Therese. ‘‘A Parisian Romance’’ will re- peated this evening, and Dr. Jekvli and Mr. Hyde’’ will de put on to-morrow evening for the balance of the engagement. . — * The Boston Ideals, who seem tobe some- What out of luck this week, several of the principals being sick, gavea production of Faust at the Grand Opera-house last night. The company is a good one and its work has always been of a most excslient character, but under the present discouraging circumstances the members seem to lack . Thie was the case with Faust last night. 80 far as the singing was concerned there was not much fault to be found. Miss Strakoech sang the role of Marguerite very sweet! particu- larly in the opening numbers. W. H. Mertens got through with Valentine and Sig. Miranda with Mephisto with equa! success, but in all the acting was of an insipid character, which talled to warmup the audiencetoan appre- clation ofthe opera. Frank Baxter had suf- ficiently recovered from his cold to mate hie reappearance and was in fair voice. He will probably de“ all right to-night, when he will pe cast with L’ Allemand in.‘‘Rigolette.’’ * * The Elks gave one of their enjoyable break faste Richard Mansfield, the tragedian, at 10:30 a. m. to-day. The meal was served at the clubandin the usual elegant style that characterizes such entertainments. Among the guests who sat down were Richard Mans- field, George Keogh, C. W. Roberts, King Hall, Charles E. Ware, H. ©. Townsend, Frano Chandler, C. D. Colman, Charles F. Joy, W. S. Hill, Lew A. Clarke, Judge W. C. Jones. The event was a success alf through. Mr. Mansfield expressed himself as highly pleased with his reception. The infotmal nature of the affair barred all toasts and other for- malities, but there was an abundance of anec- dote and a pleasant two boürs was passed. At ite close Mr. Mansfield warmly thanked the Elks for their kindness. A feature of A Parisian Romance“ at the Olympic last night was the singing of Miss Minnie Methot of Chicago. Miss Methot has a splendid reputation as a singer in the city by the lake and is a graduate of the Conservatory of Music there. Her song at the Olympic ee night was heartily encored, but the necessi- ties of the play forbade a response. It is seldom that a young lady who has taken to brief a part in a performance meets with such enthusiastic and spontaneous applause. - -_— ADVANCE SALES. Booth-Modjeska and Juch Cempanies Will Be Flatteringly Received. Between the hours of8and 12 o’clock this morning the amount of money received from the advance sale of seats for Booth and Mod- jeska was over $5,000. Manager Short and Budd Mantz were kept busy hauling in the cash and handing out the tickcts but inspite of the rapidity with which they disposed of each patron the crowd did not diminish. From the box officeto Elm street was stretched a long line of men, good- naturediy crowding towards the box-oflice. They commenced forming the line last night before the performance was over and from that time to this morning the line increased. During the heavy rain of last night the crowd remained firm, with the ex- ception ofone or two who weakened after getting thoroughly drenched, and when the box office was opened this morning over three hundred sieepy-eyed persons gave sighs of relief. There will probably be $12,000 taken in before the office closes to- night. THE JUCH OPERA CO. The management of the Juch Opera Co. an- nounce the advance sale of seats for their Easter festival at the Exposition Building, to commence on Monday next at 9:80 a. m. at Boliman Bros., 1100 Olive street.

A number of the most promi- nent inusical societies of St. Louis are arrang- ing to attend She festival in a body. The deco- rating of the grand foyer should prove a very attractive feature, as it will make a fine promenade for the audience dur- ing the long intermissions between’ the acts necéssitated by handling heavy scenery aud the required changes of costume. The prin- cipais, chorus and orchestra engaged will bring the number of people employed in this series of entertainments fully up to 300. — — — THE EADS CONCERT TO-NIGHT. - The Arrangements Complete, and Promise a Rare Musical Treat. The James B. Eads Monumental Concert to be given this evening at Exposition Music Hall promises to be one of the greatest musi- cal treats ever had in St. Louls. ‘‘The Orea- tion, Haydn's oratorio, will receive agrand rendition. The rehearsals have all along promised this, but the full one last evening, with all the prinoi- pals present, gave sein greater ax- surance. The event in itself gas one to be remembered among thé many great ones which have occurred in Music Hall. Every foot of space on the immense stage was used, and =. still it was not ual the acoommodation of the chorus, and special ar- rangements have had to be made to-day to piace them to advantage this evening.

The announcement was m de to-day that Mr. Will P. Bmyth had been appointed Consul to Huddersfield, Engiand. It was in the nature of a surprise, for Mr. Smyth has not been known as an applicant for an office, and few suspected that his name had been presented to the Administration. The appointment was made by Secretary of State Biaine, who raised the position at! Hudcersfield from a @eonsular agency to a coneuilate. Mr. Bmyth is well known here, having been idgntified with newspaper work in St. Louls fora number of years and later with political matters ofsome importance. He is a native of Galway, Ireland, aud was educated at the Jesuits’ College in ye From that he went to the Summer Hill College near Ath- Jone, and in 1867 he came to this country to live with his uncie in Cairo. In 1868 he entered St. Vincent's College at Oape Girardeau and he graduated in 1872 with honors, receiving the prizes for the best English and Latin essays. He also received a special prize for proficiency. in the superior classes. In 1874 he came to St. Louls and began work as a reporter on the St. Louis Times. He was successful in his work and rose to the position of city editor. He also ocoupied the desk of telegraph editor, and his connection with the Times continued until that paper ceased publication. Mr. Smyth then went into the manufacturing business and continued in it until 1886, when he retired and began his travels in Europe. While abroad he wrote ictters for the St. Louis papers, and since his return he has been more or less engaged in literary work. Mr. Smyth has many friends among prom- nent men and principal among them are Mr. R. C. Kerens and Mr. J. B. McCullagh, whose influence secured for him a position that is flattering to so young a man, Huddersfield is one of the Important towns ot England. It ie about an hour and a half from Leeds by rall and is one of the centers ofmanufadture.

The Body of an Unknown Map Taken From the Mississippi This Morning. About o o' clock thie morning John Brown, a watchman on a Levee barge, and John Davitt, living at No. 7 South Sixth street, found the body of an unknown man in the river at the foot of Spruce street. Thinking that perhaps life was not yet ex- tinct, the men called up the patro! wagon and had the body taken to the Dispensary. Dr. Steinmetz made a cursory ¢xam- ination and sent the remains to the Morgue. The body is that of a man of about 55 years, standing 6 feet tall and weighing about 165 pounds. The clothing consisted of a dark green overcoat, a pair of blue pants, Gark coat and vest, purple stockings, gray undershirt and lace shoes. The hair and mustache are brown, elightiy aprinkled with gray. The police think the man fell off the gene plank of the Belle of 1 at the oot of St. Charles street. It is thought that the body is that of a North Broadway saloon- keeper who is missing from his home and Place of business. The remains had been in the water but a few hours.

Prebability That Several Vacancies Will Be Created in the Professorships—Cause of the Trouble—Meeting of the Committee on Nominations—Their Explanations and Denials as to a Lack of Harmony. HE Board of Uurators of the Missouri State University meets in semi-annual session at the Lindell, Hotel to- morrow, aud it is said it will bave some very Knotty problems to solve. To-day the Committee on Nomi nations, composed of Messrs. R. B. Oliver of Jackson, Gardiner Lathrop Of Kansas City and B. M. Dilley of Hamilton, are in session and they will endeavor to make such a report that the board will haye clear sailing. There will be something else, bowever, if the com- mittee and the board come up to the expecta- tions of a large number of people who have the welfare of the university at heart. These people expect to see several members of the faculty retired. The members are saidto be Paul Schweitzer, professor of chemistry, W. B. Smith, professor of mathe- matics; OC. G. Tiedeman, of law; J. A. Yantes and J.C. Jones. The latter is the present assistant in Latin, anda candidate for the Greek chair, in which there Nas been a V&- cancy for some time, the professor occupying it baving resigned. These gentiemen, !t is said, bave never overcome the feeling aroused ageinstthem atthe time the lower house of the General Assembly passed the resolution OUSTING THE CURATORS, on which occasion the students turned out in a torchlight procession and with a band at their head marched to the residences of the professors. The latter delivered congratula- tory addresses and participated in the de- monstration. This was two years ago, but it had its effects as all the cu®ators sent in their resignations except Norman J. Colman. The faculty remained intact and supreme, though with the stigma of having labored in the Gen- eral Assembly to overthrow their curators, and of having endan- gered discipline by engaging in a con- gratulatory demonstration with the students overthe overthrow of their superiors, the men they served. This, it is claimed, incul- cated inthe mindsof the students the very quintescence of disorder. After this, too, it is claimed, the faculty continued as a faction, controlling the institution and taking away, ractically, the power of the curators, or at east their management. The curators, it is said, recognized this, but neglected to act in regard to it. Now, however, good authority has it that there is actually pending in the board a moyement to request the resignations ofallithe professors in any way connected with the fight. IN REPLY TO THESE REPORTS of discord and of an intention to create further vacancies, Messrs. Oliver, Lathrop and Dilley ofthe Committee on Nominations said this morning that they knew of no trouble what- everin the University, Mr. Lathrop adding that it had never had a more satisfactory or promising one than the present one. As to vacancies, they said the only ones were in the Greek chair and the presidency. They did not know of any plan to create any further vacaa- cles, and did not know of any factions or lack of harmony. On the other hand, the students were well pleased, and the professors got along with them very nicely. In reply to a question as to how many applicants are be- fore the Committee on Nominations, Senator Oliver said they had seven forthe Greek chair. There was a list before him as he spoke us piciously like one of nominations for other chairs, but after cousultation the members of the committee decided they could not say any- thing else as to the number of candidates gen- erally, and could not say how many gentie- men bad been suggested or were under con- sideration for the Presidency. „We are, said Mr. Lathrop, looking all over the United States for the best man, and so far as I know there is absolutely no trouble whatever in the university.’’ THE FRIENDS of the university have been considerably aroused over the prospective action of the meeting. One ofthem, who has watched the institution for years for its best interests, spoke freely on the subject to a PosT- DISPATCA reporter this morning. In answer to a ques- tion as to the meeting he said: **l understood several days ago that the curators of this institution were to meet, not in Columbia, but in 8t. Louis. The idea of mecting away fromthe seat of the school is convenience and to avoid local intrigue. This is thought tobe an important meeting. It maybe. It may notbe. It probably ought to be. Itcertainiy would be, if the curators were toact up to the measure of their obliga- tions to make vacancies as well as to fill them. The public has not forgotten the band of half a dozen traitors to the legally constituted authorities ofthe University, who are stiil left in the faculty. Nor will they be satisfied till the last one of them is made to walk the plank. We DO KOT WANT SUCH TEACHERS in any of our schools. Whether those they antagonized were good or not, we know that we do not wish their instruction and Influence over our sons aud daughters. It is time for them to quit or to be excused. There is no virtuein waiting longer. Their continuance cannot be connived at with impunity. These schemes disturb the peace and compromise the dignity, honor and usefulness of the un- versity. True to their instincts, they are now practicing the unscrupulous arts of élection- ecring among students, faculty, community nd curators to foist one of theirown precious band into the Greek chair. Shades of Homer! No pretense nor disguise can conceal from those op the ground these sinister and selfish influenées. Not afew are of the opinion that little or no importance attaches to the appoinment of a President. The Virginia University plan may be better new than any other, however uestionable it might have been in former ays. Anyhow, let it work until fairly tried. William Jewell is getting along better witb it than ever om the monarchical plan. If we are to have a President it must be that he may be more or less thau a chairman. If less, then he is King Log, and every fellow sits down on him with contempt. If more, then he is King Stork, and is foully ABUSED, SLANDERED AND ANTAGONIZED, as gobbling upand disregarding the inter- ests, righte and honors and authority of others. In any event, he is a source of irrita- tion and weakness; a mask for insignificant and worthless professors; a target for the abuse of public growlers and ambitious pre- tenders, and a broken stick on which otiose curators maylean. The history of the Mis- sour! University shows that ite presidency is lar gely a pretense and a humbug. Every one of the eminent and faithful men who have heid the position has been treated in a manner disgraceful to the community and to the State at Weare tired of this tragic farce. - OPPOSED TO SENATOR INGALLS. The Kansas Farmers’ Alliance Declares Against His Re-Election, TOPEKA, Kan., Maron 27.—If the Kansas Farmers’ Alliance has anything tosay about it, Senator John J. Ingalls will have an up hill road in his campaign for re-election. At a conferehce of the presidents of county or- ganizations presided over by B. P. Clover, President of the State Alliance the following declaration has been adopted: ‘*‘Notwithstanding the fact that John J.

PUNXSUTAWNSEY, Pa., March 27.—Last Tues- day night, about 8 o’clock, some of the strik- ing miners at Adrian and Waston came down to Horatio for the purpose of trying to obtain some money or food for their families who were in very needy circumstances, and after going around among their fellow minerg tney concluded to go and sleep on the coke oven. They were interfered with dy the coal and iron policeman, Samuel Smiles, who ordered them to vacate the compary’s ae rong and afterthe men had endured all they could from the officer, one of the gang drew a revolver and fired three shots into him, and late last night the off cer expired. The company immediately gave chase to the gang, numbering five, and captured four, who gave their names as James Olki, Thomas Hurley, John Polik and Frank Monroe. They were all sent to jail. The man with whom the policeman first came in con- tact, John Hollingsworth, escaped. Many of the miners’ families are on the brink of starv- ation.

BALTIMORE, Md., March 27.—The hypothe- cation of the sinking fund bonds by State Treasurer Archer isthe one theme of conver- sation to-day. From whatis said on all sides, Mr. Archer seems to be the very last man that would be suspected of wrong-doing. The Me- chanios’ Bank of this city, which it was said in Annapolis disnvatches last night was the holder of considerabie of the Archer paper, refuses to talk further than to say that is is amply protected by the de- posit of coupon bonds for all loans to State Treasurer Archer. Mr. Archer was first elected Treasurer in 18886. In 1887 he succeeded Senator Arthur P. Gorman, who resigned, ss Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, and in each political campaign since that year he has taken a prominen&part. His salary as State Treasurer was $2,500a year. Mr. Archer is aiso an ex- Congressman, having been first elected in ] He served four terms consecutively. A tolerably well authenticated statement has been circulated that Mr. Archer recently told close friends of his troubles, and they were so 2 that the needed help could not be given. Refused His Friends’ Offers. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Mareh 27:—No one here seems to know just yet what the extent of State Treasurer Archer’s deficit is. Every one, however, is willing to believe the amount involved is small and say that it was an in- sane impulse which forced Mr. Archer to re- ect ald. intimate friends of Mr. Archer have nown of his troubles since Monday and any amount needed to make good his sho o was offered. One man tendered $25, in cash, security. j off ot ald. sayingthat he himself alone could settle the affair. When last in Annapolis, Mr. Archer said it would be the last time he would ever visit the place. The theory advanced to- day is that in a moment of temptation he pledged securities belonging to the State, but not to a large amount; that he was made to know tbat outside parties were aware of his transactions and that the fearof exposure drove him insane. Another bank in Balti- more, other than the Mechanics’ Bank, is saiidto hold a considerable amount of the Archer paper. Breke His Back. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatca.

From New York, 9 a. m.—It was generally agreed in Stock Exchange circles last evening that the most of the list closed up strong and with a promising look, even though the market was not active, nor were the prices uptothetop.

The representatives of the largest and most prominent commission houses, whose opinions are generally sought because usual! correct and safe t@foliow, tell their friends E that they can perceive nothing else n the future prospects but higher values for the whole year out. They argue that all of the news which is coming out about the rallroads, which comes to hand daily, is constantly favorable for these properties and their securities, and settlements of rates have been secured and new agreements reached by the lines running in both directions from Chicago. 2 From New York, 9:25 a. m.—Late yesterday atternoon the Chicago roads agreed to the 100 down to 3c differential to Manitoba, etc., u to July 1, the matter to be arbitrated then demanded.

Special Correspondence of the POsT-DISPATCH. i “TMALLULAH, La. March 4.— Thus far comparative- ly few negroes » from the region Sag overfiowed from the Raleigh cre- S vasse have ap- “plied to the en- 5 “A cineers for work, though the wages, which range from $1 to $1.50 per day, are much better than they have been accustomed to receive on the plantations. They are still excited and somewhat demoralized by the disaster, which has really fallen very much more heavily on their employers than on themecives. In many cases the pianters bave lost what has cost them years of thrift aud industry to accumulate and yet out of what they have left they are feeding the fam- ilies whose homes were on their plantations. The most provoking delays were experienced in starting on the journey from the crevasse to this place. One boatman appeared in com- pliance with his ‘mise made over the night, but the greatest oeulty was experienced in filling the places o the others, who had de- serted. Some were afraid of the real perils of the journey, while others were evidently actuated by supposititious fears, but finally a stalwart young fellow was secured and the voyage over tne flooded bottoms was commenced. Great as this overflow seems, when viewed from the levee or froma glance atthe sectionssaid to be flooded, it is only when one has traveled through the flooded district for more than ten weary hours that he can bave a realizing sense of its vastness. Thetripto this place took a little over ten hours, and from the time the skiff left the levee at lilawarra, about a mile above the crevasse, till it touched the railway embank- mentafew yardsfrom this station only five spots ot dry land weresighted. All of these were 3 OLD INDIAN MOUNDS that bad been raised considerably above the level of the surrounding country. It will take much more voyaging to secure reliable data as to the length and breadthof the beit overfiowed by the Raleigh crevasse, but it is generally estimated as having an average width of twenty miles, and it must be re- membered that this vat body of water covers some of the finest cottém producing lands in the world. Taking the most moderate esti- mate of the figures quoted by those who ought to know, it is safe to say that an area of country nearly forty or fifty miles in length and baving an average widthof quite twenty miles has been converted intoa lake varying from three to twenty fect in depth. Leaving lilawarra, we traveled up the riveron a swift current close bohind the levee, skirting the old Illawarra plantation tillthe lower bound- ary of the Goodrich plantation was reached, then striking inland a some- what devious course was taken, skirting the borders of the great swamp and crossing many other plantations. After leaving the levee a broad and open plain was crossed which looked singulariy like a beautiful lake. There were very few buila- ings in sight to break the view, while the utter etiiiness of the place and the border of lone- some forest where the underbrush and often the lower branches of the trees were hidden by the water were calculated to strengthen the illusion. At Outpost PiaStation there was HARDLY A SIGH OF LIFE, the old cabin that had stood in line since be- fore the war looking strangely sad and de- serted. 2 where the current swept swiftly around afence corner, a planter was met steering a large skiff which contained, besidee her crew, a cow that had just been rescued, two pigs and a score or more of barn-yard fowl. The cow and pigs were securely tied to prevent them from upsetting or jumping out ot the little craft, butthe fowls had evidently seen enough of the overfiow and they were quite willing to be taken to a place of safety. Near the gin- house two families were found living ina house which stood upon afi unusually high founda- tion and where by means of a false floor they were enabled to keep out of the water. One of these was an old colored woman and her youngest son of l0orl2 years. She was very much alarmed and extremely anxious to be conveyed to the levee. Gliding swiftly along over broad level felds, our little craft soon eed still further inland. The 4 Hot was etriv- les to follow a road with which he wasfamil- lar, but the flood had so changed the aspect of the place that it was with difficulty that he could gethis bearings. There was another and more serious difficulty. Though the road bad been well cut for the passage of horses and wegens along the trall, the flood had ele- vated the plane of travel some fifteen feet and the boat was continually forcing ite way among the interlacing branches of the great forest trees.

In 1888 a new levee wae built along the upper portion of the caving dank, which runs down to Salem, but partly for want of funds and actuated by a desire to patch valuable property as long as possible, the construction of this line, which was 2,500 fect inside the then existing levee, the new line was temporarily abandoned at Salem and a wing was run out to connect the new work with the old. The old levee was made to serve the purpose for the high water of 1889, but when the low water came the cay- ing of the bank revealed the fact that the days Or the old work were numbered and that it would be necessary to continue the new levees on or about the time projected by Engineer Thomson. In 1888the contract for this work was let and the work commenced early in December. There was an unusually early rise before the new work was completed. A run- around saved the ola work for the time being and the new work was pushed forward rapidly as possible. It was seen that the whole of the line could not be completed in time and ashort wing was run outto connect that portion that could be completed with the old levee a little above Pecan Grove Landing and patching the old work and hurryingonthe new second line, though not quite completed, was in a condl- tion to resist the high water at the time the old or outer levee caved off and let the water in against the new work on February 17.

It was noticed that gray mud or quicksand was raising outofthe back of the embankment several feet below the crown, and a few geo- onds later a stream of water gushed out as large as a man's arm. In much less time than it takes to tell it, this stream had inoreased to the size ofa barrel, and in afew seconds the crown of the levee caved in, and was swept son, cashier of the St. Louis National Bank, was trustee under the deed, dut refused to act. The deed prowided that in this case the sheriffof Summit County, Colo., should be- come his successor, and should sell the property as trustee. The sale was decided upon and long advertisements have away by the rushing torrent. In five minutes the reach was twenty-five feet wide, and the levee continued to corumbie and melt away as though it had been bullt of sugar. All hope of clos- ing it was speedily abandoned as there was twelve feet of water pressing against it. The pianters, knowing that 4 terrible overflow was at haud, turned their attention to the res- cuing of their families.and live stock. The break occurred Saturday evening, but a ma- jority of the negroes and some of the planter’s famililes did not leave their homes until Sun- day, andsome of them not till Tuesday and even Wednesday. A Disastrous Levee Break. GREENVILLE, Miss., March 27.—The levee at Duncanusby Landing, which broke yester- day, allowed the torrents to rush through the streets of the little town with suchtremendous — that nardly anybody could realize the situation. Two negroes were drowned short- ly after the break eccurred. The warehouse of Lacks & Co., that containeda number of barrels of lime, was set on fire by the water coming in contact with the lime, and was totally destroyed, with all the contents. Mrs. Lacks and many other ladies, with their cilidren, had such short notice of the danger that they barely saved their lives jumping out of their beds into the water over four feet deep to reach the skiffs which brought them to the levees. The Government steamer Meteor came to their rescue and took ali the ladies and children on board, and provided food for the multitude which congregated on the levees. At Leota the wateris running outof the crevasses at the rate of 25 cubic feet per sec- ond. Its course isup stream for nearly a mile, thus making the main current shoot through the center of the little doomed vil- lage. The water inthe town is upto the eaves of the houses. Hopes are entertained of its being controlled to-day. There is a demand for help, all that can be had, from the back country, and it is impos- sible to say how many llves have been lost there, or how stock has suffered. At least fif- teen plantations, over 20,000 acres, are one sheetof water. The government boat Eth- eridge, barges and quarter boat, witb all pro- curabie skifis, provisions, etc., left vesterday afternoon fer Skipwith. The steamer Osceola willaiso leave as soon as possibie to relieve the sufferers at Steel's Bayou, whose lives are said to be ia immediate danger. ——— Stock Dying by Hundreds. MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 27.—The country on the west side of the river, this side of Helena, is all under water. Cattle and horses are herded on artificial mounds and platforms, surrounded byrall pens, and are dying by the hundreds. Buffaio gnats have appeared in countiess swarms, and sting the starving animais until tbey become uncontrollable, and rush into the water and drown. The St. Francis River is emptying an enor- mous amount of water into the Mississippi eight miles aboye Helena. This water must go through the funnel caused by the Missis- sipp! and Arkansas, which latter begins at Helena. It is deemed impossible for the levees on both sides to stand the strain. Both are strong and well guarded, and it is a question which can bear the greatest pressure. There ts astrong ery for aid from Laconla, where the circle levee gave way. About 2,300 people live in add around the cirele. They are in need of food, some are sick and suffer- ing untoid miséries fora lack of medical at- tendance and nourishment. Negroes, white people, mules, hogs end cows are huddled to- ether the combs of the gin houses and op stumps: There is no food for man or beast, and both are starving. Three éolored men and a colored child were drowned while trying to wade tothe higniands. C. H. Blackburn, a wealthy planter, says they will have to call for Government aid. Arkansas City Under Water. ARKANSAS CITY, March 27.—Two more breaks have occurred in the levees above here and the water is pouring into the city.

VICKSBURG, Miss., March 27.—As a conse- quence of the break of the levee at Skipwith, Mayersvilie will be inundated.

Chicago dispatches to brokers at the New York Produce Exchange during the past four or five months bristied with that name Pardridge. ridge, a heavy seller of May wheat. ardridge the largest seller of May at Vac. Pardridge, the leading seller at the decline to-day. Pardridge, the conspicuous seller at the advance. These terse sentences are fair specimens of the dispatches received in brokers’ offices. Pardridge is, or wads, the dry goods Hearn of the windy city. He has lost on the bull side lately some of his big bear profits, but is still ahead of the game many hundreds of thou- sands. Pardridge, in some respects, is singular a character aas Old Hutch.’’ following soliloquy emitted es he sat the other day watching a boy putting up guota- tions ona big blackboard, is characteristic. It was elicited by the question: ‘‘What makes you look So sad to-day, Pardridge?’’ Ah, Llost my poor old mother night before last. She was a dear old lady. We all thought the worid of her. d as she was it came hard—(Hello, St. Paul 68%. Who is putting that up?)—it came hard to lose. ° es, it’s asad thing. Only the other day I sat with her two or three hours talk ing over old times, and somehow I felt—( Look at that—New En- gland down to 444. I tell you its—) and some- how teilt that the end was near. She took my head in her hands and gaye me her biess- ing. ltellyou the tears—(Lovk at Burling ton, 106%. What in — is the matter with that?)—the tears, I say, came mighty near flowing over,’’ and Pardridge ran on in this way forfully fifteen minutes, while it was with the utmost difficulty that his hearers suppressed their emotion. Singularly enough—it seems like a paradox Old Hutch, the most unique figure in the wheat pit, has been a large loser the decline in prices, an though of late successful in whooping up mar- ket, he has received but a small propor- tion of his losses. At the New York uce Exchange the past week nothing has been heard but stories of crop damages.

A brother of the missing girl came from Kane, Pa., Tuesday, and reports that George Smith, with whom the young lady had been corres- ponding, had not beén away from home, and the idea of an elopement was abandoned. Detective Aaron Wilber searched Mies Peter- son's effects yesterday, but found nothing to indicate what her intentions might have been. Sevoral hundred dollars of her “em were found, and also several shares in a bullding association.’ It was learned yesterday that the girl fell from a hammock last summer and sustained an injury to her spine, and this was aggravated by another fall about six weeks ago.

Other Hearst Cracks — What Horses Will Compose the Screggan Stable the Coming Season — The Amateur Athletic Usion and League vf American Wheelmen Bettle Their Differences—Sporting News etal Kinds. HE mare Gorgo natur- ally is the most prominent member of Senator Hearst's lot, and a right good mare she is, remarked a writer in the New York Sun. As she stood up to her knees in the clean, sweet straw with which der box was littered, she looked every inch a race mare. That she has deen sent along in preparation for the big event (Brooklyn Handicap), is manifest ata glance. She ie a splendid mare through the sboulders, and has propelling power second to none. She has wintered well, and should she escape accident, for she has been one of the most unlucky animals on the turf, the one that beats her will get the money. A good many persons have found fault with Gorgo, claiming that she is not up to the distance. Let all such rest easy on that score, as Gorgo is built and bred to go all day if necessary. Mr. Allen is proud of her, and he should be. The 3-year-old division is headed by that staunch pair of Sir Modreds, Tournament and Ballarat. Last spring Balia- rat was pounds better than Tournament, but toward the middle ot the season he went Wrong, and was far from being right. Tournament, bowever, won the Great Eastern Handicap at tbe Sheepshead fall meeting, and was one of the best colts in training before the olose at Jerome Park. In the Titan Stakes, won by Judge Morrow, Tournament was second, conceding the winner a lot of weight. He would have won, or at least given Morrow an argument for the money, had Livonia not knocked him to his kmees at the club-bouse bluff. Ballarat is a picture to look at now, sa sprinter in every line of his conformation, and more like Little Minch than ever before. As Fda Heffner remarked, He will do to tie up to as far as he goes. „Tes, responded Mr. Allen. ‘‘I don’t know how far that is, but he can go some, and no mistake.’’ Jimmy Shields and the writer were more struck with Tournament, who, while not as bandsome as his relative,is a busines s-like customer, and showed in bis races a bulidog courage that made him hang on tothe bitter end. Tournament is not a beauty to look at, with his round and capacious paunch, but he looks as though what de eats agreed with him. Both have grown and devel- oped into spanking big colts, the bone dDelowithe knee and back being remarkable for ite width and flatness. Sir Launcelot, another son of Sir Modred that gave promise of rare speed last year, but who never started, owing to his great size, has been geided. Like Tournament and Ballarat, he is a siashing big colt, and is so lusty that one can bardly realize that he is a gelding. King Thomas, about whom so much bas been said and writ- ten, shows plainiy that he is getting work ud lots of it; in fact, the famous colt is about ready for a race. Despite his bad showing on the few oocasions in which he started as a 22-year-old, King, Thomas is a colt with a wonderful turn of speed, and he will give some bookmaker a headache before the middie of the season. A large colt as a 82-year-old, he has grown into a giant, and now stands plump 16.2 hands. He resembles French Park in color and conformation more than 1 other colt by the dead King Ban. Mr. Allen says the impression prevalent that King Thomas is bad tempered is erroneous. He certainly is most tractable in the stabie, and when taking walking exercise is as sedate as any other member of the string. The Screggar Stable. The regal Engiish Lady, remarzs the New York Mail and Express, discussing the Stroggan string, is said to be as fast as the wind. She has a head of good size and finely shaped, the face clean-cut, long and thin, while the nos- trils are exquisitely turned and large. She has a broad, full chest, witha rangy, sloping shoulder and fine, high withers. The girth is very wo | and full, tne barrel long, the back short and sweiling into a wide, musculer loin and weli-rounded fiank. Her legs are strong but short, like Volante’s, and muscied like Firenzi’s. In fact, she has a very racy and game appearance from muss le to heel. She Was very fast as a 22-year-old and beat all the good ones inthe West. She promises to do even better as a %3-year-old, and if she doesn’t open sombody’s eyes before the sea- son is over Mr. Scroggan will be very much surprised. She has only 106 pounds on ber in the Toboggan, and, as her owner puts it, ene li come down that hill like a whiri- ind.“ Sheis entered in nearly ail the big es for 8-year-olds, both East and West.

A. W. Troubles. From the New York Sun. There is to be no war between the Amateur Athletic Union and the League of American Wheelmen. This is greatly to the credit of both organizations, for both are composed of ‘too large and too intelligent a body of gentie- men to either provoke a fight or to rashly precipitate one. It will be recalled that some weeks ago the Racing Board of the League of American Wheelmen reported a new rule, which was adopted without debate, at the annual meeting of the L. A. W., held in New York. This rule permitted cycie clubs to pay the necessary traveling ex- penses of wheeimen representing them at stings upon application to the Racing Board of the L. „ providing the board granted such application and that cycle clubs must apply for such permission prior to each meet to which they contemplated sending competitors. These provisions were fol- lowed by a clause stating that athletic clubs would not be allowed to pay expenses of bl cycle riders to meets at all. bis was the ef- fect of the ruling, because the L. A. W. hav- ing jurisdiction over cycling could disqualify any rider for an athletic club who had his ex- penses paid by his club. This pointed to war, and a good deal of in- teresting reading matter has been printed on the subject. Semeof the officers of the A. A. U. met Mr. C. 8. Davol, chairman of the L. A. W. Racing Board, recentiy, and inquired why -he was anxious to prevent the A. A. U. Clubs from paying expenses of wheelmen. It was not learned just what Mr. Davol's reply was, but it has leaked out that the L. A. has long been convinoed that one or two of the Berkeley Athietic Club’s fast riders were practically supported by that club in 1889; tnat robably the A. A. U. Clubs were all quite lax u the matter; at any event, the A.A. U. Board of Managers tcok nonotice of the flagrant conduct of the Berkley Athletic Club and that therefore the A. A. U. should be pro- hibited from paying wheelmen’s expenses at all. Mr. Davolis aise reported to have said thatthe L.A. W. thought that the A. A. U. were engaged upon legisiation looking to the prohibition of payment of expenses, and that sucha rule would not, therefore, hurt the A. A. U. anyway. The A. A. U. Board of Managers appointed Messrs. A. C. Stevens, Frederick William Janssen, James E. Sulli- van, Frederick Wiliam Gerow and Howard Perry a committee to consider, in view of re- cent legisiation by the L. A. W. whether it was desirable or not forthe A. A. U. to frame cycling racing rules of its own. A lengthy correspondence ensued between Mr. A. C. Stephens for the A. A. U. and Mr. ©. 8. Davol of the L. A. W. Racing Board. Finally the A. A. U. committee reported to the Board of Managers and received full power to act. The result is that the L.A. W. withdraws the obnoklous rule Gand returns to its rule of a year ago, which requires thatall cycle and athletic clubs shall ask for permission to pay expenses of wheelmen to race meetings, but from this are explicitly excepted all clubs be- longing to the A. A. U. g On the part of the A. A. U., in order that its position concerning the question of the payment of expenses of atbletes may be thoroughly understood, and that the meaning ofthe A. A. U. rules and regulations may be made plainer if possibie. The following reso- lution was adopted: Resolved, That no athietic club, a mem- ber of the A. A. U., shall be permitted to pay any expense or expenses whatever, di- rectly or indirectly, ofa member or members of such club, except when such member or members are actually traveling to or from, and are in attendance as competitors at competitions. Any athlete who shall acceptor receive consider- ation for his services underthe guise of his expenses (an exeess over the actual cost of transportation to and from competitions and hotel bill while in attendance as competitor) shall, on proofofsame before the Board of Managers of the A. A. U., be deciared a pro- fessional, and the club or organization impii- cated with such athicte shail De dealt with as provided for in articlieix. ofthe constitu- Hon. Darrah Released. Darrah, the second baseman of the Browns, has been released at his owp request as the club already had two other second basemen and he thought be would have no chance to play. He had other offers Wwhioh be thought would be better for him. Darrah comes from Ehset Liverpool, O., and was recommended by Curt Weich. He played three seasons in the Tri-State League and wasa pitcher as well as second Daseman. ~~ Base Bali Briefs.

By Telegravh to the POST-DisPratcar. New Tonk, March 27.—A reporter who met Hon. Whitelaw Reid yesterday after his ar- rival bers tells this story of his interview: Blistered by the sun and wind, which are no respecters of ministers or marines, but as healtby looking as you please, United States Minister Reid of Paris and New York, or New York and Paris, stepped ashore from the steamship La Uhampagne yesterday morning for a ten days’ call upon his nativeland. His biue eyes looked joyously on the city that he still thinks a little the finestinthe world. He was grayer than when he went away, and the genial soil of diplomatic life seemed to have crept into his volce and manner, making big less brusque than when he wasamere journalist, which he hopes to de again some day, he says, though now he is in a state of suspended ani- mation so far as journalism is concerned. Mrs. Reid, her father D. O. Mills, and Editor Nicholson, were on the wharf to meet him, and when bis dozen or so bundles had been rapidly passed through the onstoms line, which heso strongiy advocated before the days of suspended animation, he was driven to Mr. Mills’ residence, opposite St. Patrick’s Cathedral, for breakfast, and afterwards spent many hours with his architect going over the plans of the new country palace which is being bullt to take the place of the one burned down. Thereporter saw him at Mr. Miile’ in the evening. „do not know that I bave anything on my mind for publiestion, he said smilingly. Indeed, Iam barred by my official position from saying anything on the topics of most interest to myself. [came over here chiefly on private business. Ihave several irons in the fre demanding attention at this time. But my chief business is to complete the ar- rangements of my house which has one strong feature to my miud—itis fire proof. I shall go to Washington the latter part of the week, and next week Ishall go to the oid homestead in Ohio, where I have a mother 87 years old—too old, as you will see, to come this way to see me. BISMARCK’S RESIGNATION. Jou left too early to learn of Bismarck’s resignation?’’ es; it occurred three days after I was at sea, and the rst l iearned of it, as well as the change in the French Cabinet, in which my friend Tirard went out, was from the copy of a paper which came aboard the steamer from the pilot boat. There hau been rumors of Bismarck’s withdrawal before I left. The matter must, of course, have caused intense excitement in Parise, but lam debarred from discussing the political effect of it. „Was Paris interested in the Labor Confer- ence at Berlin?“ ‘*Intensely so, said the minister. ‘‘The feelings there now is very different from what it was at rst. When the Freneb people were first invited to send delecates to the confer- ence they were Inclined to look with unfavor- able eye on it. They considered tnat the con- dition of the French workingmen was already far in advance ofthat ofany other nation, if not, indeed, in advance of that 3 by the conference. The matter had a most ex- citing discussing in the Chamber of Deputies, in the course of which M. Paul de Cassagnac made his great little speech, in which he said that when the improvement of the condition of the workingmen wasa question there were no parties in France—all were Frenchmen—a man who hae made the welfare of the work- ing people the subject of life-long and most tenderstudy. The French people are now in hearty Sympathy with the convention. Mr. Reid was asked what effect the action of Congress regarding the World’s Fair had had upon the interest of the 1 people. There is a subject upon Which I occupy delicate ground, he said, smiiing. ‘‘As a public officer and an American Ishall do my best to get foreign aid for it and shall do all in my power to advance its interests. But per- sonally and as a New Yorker I must confess that I was disappointed that thiscity was de- feated. It will undoubtediy make a differ- ence with the interest which France will take in the fair. Asa Frenchman said to me soon after the vote was announced: ‘Why, you might as well talk of having a world’s fairatLyons. It le a large city, I know; but who would come to itor esteem it a French affair par excellence if it were not held in Paris? FRENCH TRAVEL AFFECTED. „There is no doubt, continued Mr. Reid, that the decision of Congress will affect French travel to this country. The French are not great travelers, and when to 3,000 miles of ocean is added 1,000 miles of inland travel in a strange land, where the French of Paris is not spoken, you wil! find them very timid indeed. Just before sailing I was talk- ing with the head of thg recently deposed cabinet, which had so much to do with the success of the Paris Exposition. He was com- menting om the short time left for prepariug for a world’s fair, and he said, with a good deal of force, I thought, ‘Why have a world’s fair at all? America bas beaten the world tam ing the forces of nature; let her have a national fair which shall exhibit her own im- perial resources. It would be much better than any attempt to follow in the lines of any preceding exposition.’ P STEALING FRENCH IDEAS. „But seriously,’’ continued Mr. Reid, I Ind one very serious cause for lukewarmyess onthe part of the artists of France. They complaln that America steals their ideas, particularly in the line of decorative art, bronges, te., and they are also sore, and with good cause, because we impose a duty of 30 per cent on foreign works of &rt. This feel- ing will be manifest, I have no doubt, when we ask for contributions and it would be felt equally if the fatr were coming to New York. I bave always beid that works of art should be duty free, andl am more strongly of the opinion than ever that the tariff on them should be removed. How do you like living in Paris?’’ I asked. **Parisé,’’ said the American minister, ‘‘is undoubtedly the most beautiful city in the world. The society there is charming. The American colony is large and the people very agreeuble, Everything possible was done to make our stay there pieasant. The French people are always polite and hospitabie. They seem to look upon all strangers as the guests of the country and do their utmost to make them — 4 The cleanliness of the streets Is one of the wonders of the worid. I tell you, I notived the difference very quickly when Icame back. No city in the world has such beantiful skies and days as New York. Take to-day or an example. It was perfeo- tion. Yet the moment your eyes got down to the streatse—whew, you knew at once you were in New York. . PEACEABLE PARISIANS. ‘‘l was greatly surprised to find how peace- able the Parisians are. They are excitable, doubtiess. Yet, on election day Paris is fully as quiet and peaceful as New York. Even the excitement of the Boulangist election did not awaken the City any more than our -electiona do in New York.

The Paris journals, he said „ were wonderfully Drilliant. One got fuscinated reading them and it did not seem as if one could again learn to do without them. ‘They did not have the American idea of news, but they had the Parisian idea, and it was a very bright idea. | They kvaw what Paris wanted and they dished it ap In a style that was simply inimitable. And we must never forget, he said with ardor, ‘‘that Paris has learned one lesson whieh we have yet to learn, and that is how to get a circulation of 900,000. The Petit Jour- nal Is a marvel.

Both Branches Hold Special Meetings—Sut- ter Gets an Extension Until May 1. The special meeting of the Council last evening was called to order at 7 o'clock by President Walbridge. After the assignment of a number of bills to the proper committees the Broadway street Railway bill was taken up on motion of Mr. Comfort. This is a measure authorizing the company to construct a double track on South Seventh street. The Dill was taken up section by section and anrended ina few places, following which it was ordered to engrossment. Later in the evening the bill was reported by the Engross- ment Committee and passed without a dis- senting vote. The Vandeventer avenue, Lindell, Missouri. Benton & Bellfontaine, Union Depot and For- est Park & Laciede Railway bills were then re- ported inthe order named by the Engross- ment Committee and passed. These bills au- thorize the companies named to change their motor to electricity. The bill providing for Sunday concerts in the parks was debated at length and passed by a vote of 10 to 3. The Council adjouned until 4 o’clook this afternoon after the final reading aud signing of the new City Hall bill. THE HOUSE. The meeting of the House was called to order by Speaker Alt. A communication was received at the opening of the meeting from the Council announcing the re- fusal of that brauch to concur with the House in the paragraph of the bill appropriating $150 for the preservation of the Henry Shaw cim tree at King’s highway and Arsenal street. The St. Louis Central & Western Rallway bill was signed and sent to the Council for President Wailbridge’s signature. The batch of railway bilis passed in the Council were read for the first time. The railroad companies are working energetically te pass these bills before the close of the ses- sion. The Committee on Public Improvements re- orted the bill extending the time of the unicipal Electric Lighting Co., with an amendment fixing the date at May 1, in- stead of April 1, as provided lu the original bill. The amendment was accepted and ths bill passed by a vote of 24 to 41. As the Council concurred in this action the company will not be required to commence lighting the city by electricity untl May 1, and it will be relieved of the default penalty of $1.000 per day speci- fied in its contract. The House had some fun at the expense of Chicago before adjourning for the evening. Mr. Monaban introduced a resolution appro- priating $100,000 to help poe yy to carry out its World's Fair venture, and during the dis- cussion that followed every member had something to say about the discomfture of the Muddy City. | n 8 The House will meet again this evening at 7 o’ clock. MUST KEEP AN EYE ON EUROPE, A Wall Street View of the Financial Situa- tion and Its Dangers. Henry Clews says this week: Easier money in London and atthe West, as well as liberal Treasury disbursements, have served to materially counteract the effects of scarcity; and yet, with the low bank reserves and April demands so close in prospect, the bulls are naturally averse to inviting manipulation of money rates. Prince Bismarck’s re- tirement from the German Chancellor- ship draws fresh attention to the condition of affairsin Europe. Asa steadying force Bis- marck’s power in Europe has long been felt. His efforts have always been on the side of peace, and the transier of power from his ex- perienced handsto those of the ambitious young Emperor is not wholly assuring. It is possible that the Emperor may give Germany afreerand more popular government than Bismarck has done, but his youth aud his erratic as well as ambitious character do not strengthen the prospects of peace. In event of another European crisis the Emperor would very probably be found at the head of a war party, ready and anxious to iagratiate himself upon ulis people by prowess as a military leader. At such a time Kismarck’s whole power would proba- bly be exerted on behalt of peace. His re- tirement, therefore, must be considered a greater loss to Europe than to Germany. Fi- nanciaily, Germany is passing through a try- ing ordeal. There has been an immense amount of reckless speculation centering at Beriin, particularly in ‘‘industriais.’’ During the last six months each regular liquidation on the Bourse has been met with symptoms of collapse. There has already been a hee vy shrinkage there in the values of speculative shares, and only the efforts of strong capital- ists have prevented a break ere this. London and Paris have also passed through a threat- ening crisis. The foreign money markets will reyuire close watching for some time to come, asin event of depression there Ameri- ean stocks would be returned quite freely. The local situation is more encouraging. Railroad earnings and Clearing-house returns —two excellent measures of business—do not confirm the reports of lessened trade. On the contrary, they indicate steadily inoreasing volume. Labor is better housed and fed than ever, and the complaints come chiefly {from the employing and capitalist class. The worst complaints come from the woollen and coal trades. Just at present we seem overrun with propositions for Government interference with private affairs. Oneof.the most absurd ideas of this nature is that of Senator Stan- ford, that the Government shouid issue its notes to farmers, taking as security therefor bunds and mortgages on land, Dearing in- terest at the rate of 1 or 2 per cent.

A Scheme fer Ketiring the Certificates of | the est popular school teacher; may be bad Decensead Members—Advantages That Will Be Derived Vrom the Passage of the Mensure—Anether Measure Thht Will Probably Be Seon Subdmitted. HE vote to be taken on the Merchants’ Exchang¢ on March 29, in references to the retirement of or- tificates of membership ot deceased members, is regarded by many as an entering wedge that may very considerably alter the composition of the Exchange. Hitherto the only means of retiring memberships was by the failure of certificate ULE polaers to pay the annual Ia. assessment, and the con- sequence is that the membership is very large, and that probabiy a majority of those holding certificates do not appear upon the floor once a month. 7 7 ad he 77 N rs WHEN A MEMBER DIES his certificate passes into the hands of his ex- ecutors and, if it is deemed advisable to dis- pose of it, a sale at the market rates must be made. These rates vary widely, but are in all cases very much less than the sum at which the amendment to the rules proposes to redeem the certificates of deceased mem- bers. At present the market rate for ex- change memberships is $35, assessment un- paid, making them cost with the $20 annual assessment $50. The new rule to be passed upon on Saturday next, provides that during the current year the sum of 3100 shall be paid for the retirement of the cartificates of deceased members if they are offered for redemption. The benefits of this will, itis argued by those who favor it, be twofold. In the first place the estate of the deceased member willreceive something like the real yalue of his certificate, and in the second place memberships will not be so likely to pass into the hands of those who have no real interest in the Exchange, seldom appear upon the floor except to vote, and who have no conception of nor care for the wel- fare of the institution in the y%overnment of which they have as much voice as any one. THE PRICE OF CERTIFICATES sold in open market presents a very peouliar feature. Without reckoning the privileges conferred by the possession of a membership as having any pecuniary worth, the value of a certificate judged — by its share in the reserve fun is some- thing over $155, but in open market itcan be bonght, with dues for the current year paid, for $55. This state of affairs tends to retain a large numberof members whose only interest fs in the reserve fund, and whose votes on elections are only influenced by this and not by the good of the Exchange. By the adoption of the rule to be voted upon, the certificate of a deceased member will be redeemed, not at its real vaiue, for a pro- vision has been introduced that not more than $100 shall be paid ee the current year, but at a price far above its market quotation. The result will be, it is claimed, nigh- ly beneficial to the Exchange, as it will prevent many memberships from passing into the bands of persons who do not have the welfare of that institution at heart. SHOULD THE HEIR of the deceased member desire to actively participate in business he can retain the cer- tificate; should his interest be only in the re- serve fand he canretire, and it is deemed desirable to retire all memberships of this kind. Little doubt Is felt that the amendment will pass, and already some of those favoring it are repared to carry its prin- ciples urther. Within a few months it is more than probable that the members of the Merchants’ Exchange wil! be calied on to vote upon a proposition allowing all who desire so to do to surrender their certificates on the same terms as are granted those of deceased members. The cost, it. is admitted, will be large, and will seriously reduce the reserve fund, but it is argued that with the present large membership, and the rule requiring a three-fourths vote to make any disposition of the reserve fund, that it is so effectually tied up as to be useless. Were the non-interested portion of the membDer- | ship retired something could be done, but at present those most in favor of making some disposition of the reserve fund other than in- vesting in United States bonds admit that any such attempt is nearly hopeless. The vote upon the amendment next Saturday will have great influence on the future proceed- ings. FIVE quires fine linen paper and envelopes for 750 at Barnard’s, 4)6 Olive street.

St. ‘Conis Post Nupnteh, chr. March 27, 1800. THEIR QUEER TITLES. / WHAT SOME AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS CALL TAEMSELVES. P A Kansas Paper Called he Astonisher and Paralyzer’'’—California a Place Where Many Bizarre Names Originated—Kan- eas, Texas and Missouri All Helped to Make Up the List. From the New York Tribune. Agreat deal has been said about funny names of post-offices, but there are even fun- ner names ot newspapers; for, asa rule, a newspaper publisher is a cleverer fellow than the Third or Fourth Department Assistant q Custodian of the Sealing Wax, or whatever he may be called, Whose business it is to suggest mames for Uncle Sam's new post-offices. * ay ** Mi humor of the people of that State. Moreover, the editor is not so much hampered by dignity and convention asthe Post-office Department necessarily and properly is, and soheis ina pdsition to gratify the wildest nan: of his imagination in naming his journ- _alistic bantling. Sometimes there is a grim suggestiveness in the name ofa paper, t ~ oes much to make it known. Everybody eard of the Epitaph, ot Tombstone, — imilarily there le The Hot Blast, of An- iston, Ala, named inrecognition of the blast aces of that fourishing tows, The Der- k ot On City, Pa., and The Cracker of Akeland, Fla., a reglon in which the cracker may be found in all his glory. It is impossible to classify the queer names to be found in the list of newspapers, for most of them reflect either the idiosyncracy of the editor or some peculiarity of thelocality. Asan instance of this, take that remarkable paper started a couple of years ago in Kansas called **The Astonisher and Paralyzer.’’ It is pos- sible that this paper may not bave pleased its readers during its brief existence; but !t is pretty certain that the founder pleased him- self in naming it. He now admits, however, that the name was against it, and he says that the next paper he starts will not aim so much to astonish and paralyze as to get the doliurs out of the pockets of the subscribers. ‘Arkansas has a goodly number of queerly named newspapers, reflecting the saturnine ‘*Swift’s Flying Needle“ ought to bea tailors’ organ, and perhaps is. There is a worle of sugges- tion in The Serpent,“ but the choice of sucha fame for a newspaper seems hardly felicitous. Vit must be so easy for the ‘‘measly contem- ' — 1 8 /porary’’ across the way to tread on it and in other ways do violence to its feelings. ‘‘The Immigrant,’’ The Log Cabin, The Linon in, **The Horseshoe, Tue Hummer, The Tocsin’’ and The New Departure, | all tell their own story. In California some years agothere were many newspapers with bizarre names, ex Dressive of the rough and tumultuous civiliz- ation of the miningcamp, but most of these have died or changed their name. Such pic- turesque names as The Porcupine, ‘‘Social Calls, The Citrograph, The Carrier Dove, The Waep’’ and Te Elevator, still remain as a faint suggestion of the days of yore. Iowa has many suggestively named newspapers. ‘‘The Brass Buzz Saw hums loudly at Brockton. ‘‘The Oashier’’ appropriately appears in Cash City. ‘‘The Postal Card“ refuses to observe the direction astousing only one side, filling both sides with news and live add. The Phono- graph’’ ae reflects the sonorous voice ot its editor he Hawk Eye’’ looks at its prey from on high, and swoops on it with reat precision of aim. The Time Table tells all about its editor’s trains of thought they g0 to. The Merry War’’ laughs with jocund glee when it sees a head, but nevertheless never fails to hit it. And rue Walnut Bureau’’ very — gi | appears in the interesting town of Walnut t is sald that a paper called The Devil’’ was, some years ago, published inlowa. But the editor got converted and changed its name to ‘‘The Ange! Herald.“ There is, however, some doubt as to the truth of this story. The great State of Kansas is notable for its journalistic eccentricity. Besides ‘‘The As- tonisher and Paralyzer,’’ already referred to, mentioned The Mallet, be Border Ro- County Cat, 2 The Morning Quid Nun,“ The Sunday Growler,’’ ‘‘The Soap, Box, The 1 * ‘The Coy- ote, “LT ucifer the Light earer, The Scimitar, The Razoop,’’ The Cap Sheaf,”’ The Boomer, „ „The Broad Axe’’ and The Castor and Pollux. Kansas is largely settied by serious New Kugland people; and vet many of these names indicate a genuine sense of humor that finds no similar expression in New Engiand. Oan it be that the New England man unconsciously lets himself out when he leaves his billy home ana setties on the broad prairie? In Colorado may be found be Boomerang, The Hustier,’’ The New Kden. be Solid Muldoon, and **The Rattier.’’ And it will interest readers ofthe Tribune to know that in the townof Greeley in that State there is published a bright paper called ‘‘The Greeley Tribune, the title of which is an enlarged fac-simile of Horace Greeley’s handwfiting. In Illinois ne Sucker State calls attention by ite name to the old nickname of thet State. The Light of Egypt’’ is appro- pe AE published "in the famous section nown as . Otber papers that may L are The Pantagraph,’’ The Weekly ye, The Sunday Optics, „„The Old ring” Vaud ‘The Partisan. In Indiana uts hell,“ The Air Line News,’’ The ght. „ ne Hornet, *‘Tbhe Indiana and The Hoosier state refiect the It — ere surprising Indian man hone ht tarting a paper called **The Mia r ds but it is not yet too late. The Blue Grass Clipper,’’ of course, could not be published im any other State but Kentucky. Among its contemporaries more or less esteemed may be mentioned ‘‘Nataral Gas, The Drummer, he Roundabout, Walker e Boome- rang, The Climax’’ and te oy Favorite. In Missouri ‘‘The Cash Box ublished, and it is to be hoped that . itor finds plenty of money ion. The Whirlwind’’ is doubtiess a very breezy paper, while The Grindstone’’ probably grinds out all the news with neatness and dispatch whenever the editor turns thecrank. ‘‘The Buzz Saw’’ cut into the circulation of the low-down oppo- sition sheet across the street, while ‘‘The Unterrified Democrat’’ whisties loudly to keep ite courage up.

The existence of such a paper in Amer- possible evidence of a low moral tone in this country. And then it proceeded to make some fitting remarks about a nation that al- lowed ‘‘The Arizona Howler’’ to do its think- ing for it. This brief sketch of American newspaper nomenciature reveals much thatis crude and ephomeral, but it also suggests a certain rude ore th and originality, which, when direct- er channels, will result in some- shine finer.

Taylor's Sure Cure, cures Dyspepsia. A TAX AGAINST THE POOR, A Pretest From St. Louis Against the Linen Schedule im the Tariff Bill. The linen importers of St. Louis were con- siderably stirred up yesterday over the threat- ened change in the import duties on linens and linen goods and got together and sent a joint telegram to the St. Louis Congressmen asking them to prevail upon the House Com- mitteeon Ways and Means to give the im- porters a chance to be heard before any de- cision is arrived at. The bill is now before the Ways and Means Committee and the sec- tion relating to linens and linen goods is the one which is occupying present attention. It has been brought to notice very suddenly and the importers have age? ust discovered what the effect of it will be. eachedule as pro- — Oxes a rate of duty 35 to 50 per cent igher than the pregent one and on the lower grades, those having less than 100: threads to the inch, imposes in addition a specific tax of Scents a pound. This would, it is estimated, more than double the cost of low grade goods, while on higher gradesit would only cause an increase of 50 to 60 per cent. The object of the increase, the importers say, cannot possibly be imagined. The goods are not manufactured in this country. either is there a possible substitute in this country, unless it may de a cotton fabric. Henoe there Is no claim of protection. Then, too, as table-cloths and table linens generally are used by all classes, andas handkerchiefs and linen goods generally, are used extensively by the people of the United States, therecan be no excuse in the light et making articles of luxury pay while the duty on necessities is de- creased. In fact, the proposed new schedule on linens would tax the poorer classes much more heavily than the rich ones. Every housekeeper wants to have a linen tablecloth, but every housekeeper cannot pay for the very fine ones. Consequently she buys one of a lower grade—less than 100 threads to the inch. She pays a percentage increase in the duty, and in addition a specific tax of 3 cents a pound. Her rich nelghbor buys one of more than 100threadstothe inch—she pays a vor- centage duty and is not subjected to a specific tax. The change would be felt more heavily on table cloths than on any other line, owing to their weight. On handkerchiefs and light goods it would not amounttosomuch. The principle is regarded as a very bad one, how- ever, and ifthe Ways and Means Committee will receive them, several of the St. Louis im- porters will 1 go on to Washington. — — — COPIES of t the SUNDAY Post- DisraTcH of Sunday, March 23, containing the ballot for the most popular school teacher; may be had at our counting-room or may be ordered by telephone from any of the branch offices. — — * THE EX-CONFEDERATE HOME. — $3,000 Subscribed tor it in a Few Minutes. The ex-OConfederate soldiers are working hard to raise a fnnd to establish an ex- Confederate Home. At the last meet- Mr. Frank Gaiennie, who presided, said the organizers of the home had turned the matter over to the State ex-Con- federate Home, of which Mr. James Banner- man is President,and that the Vice- Presidents of the Congressional districts in the States had been instructed to canvass their districts for subscriptions.

The first annual meeting of St. Alphonsus Young Mén’s Sodality was held in their hall Tuesday night.A large number of the SodaNsts Were present and great interest was shown in the election of officers for the coming year. The bDalioting was spirited and in most cases very close. Mr. D. O’C.

Grain Rates on the Lake Lines—Notes and Personals. The lake lines have opened forthe season and the Wabash has issued a tariff of great interest to export and east-bound shippers. The route set forth in the tariff is via: Toledo, Wabash Steamer Line; Buffalo, New York, Lake Erie & Western Rallway and Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Rallway, and the lake haul is only 252 miles. The first-class rate to New York is 72 cents per 100 pounds scaled down to 2% cents on sixth class, which rate does not include grain as the all rail rate on grain is now 23 cents. The tariff also refers to the Lackawanna Line and Erie Despatch, but to no other lines; the question now remains as to what rate the Clover Leafwill put on the same business. The marketis to ali appear- andes wide open and if concessions are made on the laze and rail routes equal to those on all rail, freights will be laid down onthe sea- board very cheap. The Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas ay Rall- way are making efforts to secure a line of steamers on the lake from Toledo and in case they do put in a line there will be some sharp competition for business out of St. Louis. The Hoosac Tunnel and West Shore lines will shortly remove their local offices to the Laclede building. NOTES. General Eastern Agent Robertson of the D. L. S W. R.

Judge Cady Regrets That the Fixed Punish- ment Is Not More Adequate. „1am only sorry that I cannot send you to the penitentiary. With your gew-gaws and your finery you have endeavored to drag down to your own level an innocent and un- sophisticated girl. Your crime is a most des- picable one. I shall fine you $100, and I only wish Icould make it more. In these words Judge Charles F. Cady this morning in the Firat District Police Court disposed of the case against one Alice Browning. The defendant, a blear- eyed wretch whose face itself belied the time- worn story of her ‘first offense,’’ was charged with being an inmate ofa disreputable house, She pleaded guilty as charged and told a story of how she had been ‘‘sick with neuraigia, scalded by steam, unfitto dothe work she could get and unable to secure any light work which she could do, she had fallen for the „Arat time. She made no defense to the statement made by Detectives Hobbs and Williams. The Browning woman answered an adver- tisement for ajlaundress and secured work ina boarding-house on Washington avenue. Thore me showed a trunk full of finery, aud in this enticed away an innocent poor girl who ha been employed there. Fortunately she woe Serene before any harm could come to her. When the Browning woman left the house she did not even ask for her wages. This aroused suspicion and an investigation was made. Chief Huebler acted with creditabie promptness and determination. Yesterday the girl was rescued and taken to the House of dod Shepherd. The woman, Alice Browning, was found in a house on Pine street and spent the night in the hold-over. She will now go tothe Work-house for some six or eight months. Mary Institute Entertainment.

A game of dice caused a fightin Scott's saloon, Seventh and Olive streets, at about 8:15 o’clock this morning. It appears that a number of men were in the place, throwing dice for the drinks. A quarrel arose between Sam Ecker of El Paso, Tex., and some stran- ger, during which Ecker pulled a revolver and assaulted his opponent with the weapon,strik- ing him three or four times over the head with the handle. One of the cartridges ab- cidentally exploded, the ball entering the ceiling and doing no damage. The injured man had several cuts in his head but reiused to prosecute. He would not give his name and left the place to have his wounds dressed. Ecker was not arrested as no one in the place would make any complaint against him. A Deubtful Embezzlement, A tall man with avery black beard anda pair of beady, rat-like, black eyes, leading a small boy by the oollar, entered Justice Ryan’s office this morning. The boy was sob. bing and digging his dirty fists into his eyes with every appearance of heartrending grief. ‘I vante dot poy arrested, said the man, with a vicious glance at the sobbing v outh. „„What is the chargé against him? asked Clerk Mielert. ‘‘This is not a criminal court. The man said be kept a clothing store on Morgan streetand that the boy had been his clerk. Yesterday afternoon he sold an over- coat. to a man for cents and when the boy wentto patthe money in the cash drawer he dropped itonthe floor andit fell through acrack. He demanded that the boy pay for his carelessness out of his week’s salary, bug the boy refusedto permit this and the owner ofthe store wanted to see if he could not prosecute the poy for embezzle- ment. He was told that it was extremely doubtful if such a charge could be sustained and at any rate the Justice court held no jurisdiction in such matters. Accident or Suicide? Yesterday afternoon the funeral of Edward Burns, whose body was found in the river; took place from the family residence, No. 2245 Eugenia street. Though the Coroner’s in- vestigation resulted in a verdict of suicide, his frieuds are of the opinion that he possibly met his death accidentally. He was a tem- erate man, kind to his family and well liked y his neighbors. Falling to find sultabie work during the past month, though bis fani- lly was by no means in want, caused him the areatest worry.

An Opinion as to What Will Have to Be Done by Consumers to Secure It. The gas business has been considerably mixed éince the passage of the 90-cent bill by the Municipal Assembly. It has disturbed the market on the preferred stock, but not seriously on the Laclede bonds, which sold yesterday at 8l4. There have been a great many inguiries as to what consumers will have to do to secure gas at 90 cents, as fixed by the ordinance. Speaking of this yesterday, Mr. J. H. — who bas been looking up the subject, said: „All the consumer will have to do is to ten- der the money ente te of — bill at the rate of doc per 1 cublio feet, 2 the ordi- mance recently passed; and if the compan refuses to accept it and attempts to turn o the pelling it to furnish gas at the rate prescribed in tne ordinance. This, however, will hardly be necessary, as the ordinance makes ita misdemeanor to charge over the rate prescribed in the reduction ordinance, and sides it might make a forfeiture of the company’s franchise. During the recent gas investigation it was plainly shown that gas could be manufactured and sold for even less than 90 cents pee 1,000 feet, and still leave a good big profit. therefore think the Laclede Gas Co. will find it dificult to convince the court that 90 cents is not a reasonable price. The court will not be asked to take into consideration that the La- clede Gas Co. mu- t provide 5 per cent interest per annum on $10,000,000 bonds, where the lant could probably be duplicated for one - alf this amount, besides having $2,500, preferred stock, also 25 per cent, and $7,500, - 000 of common ‘stock. The two latter were issued and absolutely do notrepresent the outlay of $1 and are commonly known as ‘water.’ Ot course the reduction ordinance is hard Laclede Gas Co., and especially holders of {te securities, owing to its heavy capitalization, and if the court holds the ordi- . regulating the price at 90 cents for years as being reasonable then shall be surprisea to see Laclede gas bonds sell at 60 cents and perhaps 50 cents on the dollar. It is my optnion that many other cities will follow the example of St. Louls and reduce the price of gas where the charter per- mits it.’’ Le, IF & HATEVER you want you .can ges and can take your choice 0 FIVE BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVINGS FREE, by advestising your wants ion the next SUN- DAY Post-DISPATCH want column IN THE CRIMINAL COURT.

The case was commenced on Tuesday last, and will proba- bly be finished to-day. The result of the pros- ecution is as yet In doubt. This morning Circuit Attorney Clover en- tered a nolle prosequi in the case against Thomas Lawrence, The defendant was in- dicted for ot larceny, being charged with stealing $115 from Thomas Sullivan on January 28. Sullivan, it appears, is an old soldier and was on his 7 to Leavenworth, Kan. when robbed. e now in the hospital at that point and could not appear to prosecute the case. The case against William Coughiin was also dismissed, a nolle prosequi being entered. Coughlin was charged by one Frederiek Neu- bert, 7022 South Broadway, with burglary in the second degree and larceny in entering his residence on November 24 and stealing silver- ware and jewelry of the value of $60. Neubert has left the city and refuses to prosecute, he having recovered possession of the stolen property. 4 JAY GOULD’S MILLIONS. His Sens George and Kdwin Loeking After His Interests. New Tonk, March 27.—Wall street is inter- ested in the report that Mr. Jay Gould is to order his yacht into commission early this spring and gO sailing for several months in foreign waters. Several members of his family, it is said, willaccompany him, while his two sons, George and Edwin, will remain at home to look out for the millionaire’s in- teresats. The confidence which Mr. Gould feels in the business capacity and judgment of his sons is shown by the fact that during the present extended trip through the Sonthwest and into Mexico, his 22-year-old son, Edwin, has been in full charge of the Gould railway affairs. This means more than the trans- action of mere routine business. Such im- portant interests wére probably never before committed so fully to one of win Gonid’s ears.

Everybody is talking about it and all are praising it highly. W. F. Launtz of Belleville: The success- ful ladies will doubtiess be the most intel gent of the St. Louls teachers, and this as- surance makes the plan all the more lauda- bie. They will bave an opportunity to re- pay the publie for selecting them, which 1 have no doubt they will improve. I refer to the excellent chance of giving the Ameri- can people an idea of the European school system, and of showing their relative merits in comparison with our own. This they can do by persenaily inguiring into the foreign methods and relating their experience in the POST-DISPATCH.’’ EK. J. Eggman of Belleville: The Posrt- DISPATCH gives the St. Louls teachers @ glori- ous chance to extend their knowledge by travel. D. G. Ramsay of Belleville: A good thing | for the ladies who may be selected as well as for the SUNDAY PosT- DIsPATCH.’’ A. Singer: It is a mostexcellent idea and one of the most origina! lever heard of. It is the best in every way and shows a level bead in whoever thought ofit. I have a number of votes to cast.’’ Page MoPherson: ‘‘Itis the best scheme that has yet been started and it will do a great dealof good. The teachers who go on the trip will benefit by it greatly.’’ J. H. Blessing: It is a pleasure to assist in anything like this, and from the number of people I hear talking of it the Post- DISPATCH will not lack assistance. It is a very com- mendable movement and the paper deserves a great deal of oredit for it. James Campbell: The plan to give two of the school mistresses of St. Louls a free trip to Europe is avery good one, and pothing more liberal than the Post- DISPATCH’S propo- sition could be suggested. The vote should be a large one, as this is something everybody is interested lia. Will Gardner: Everybody ought to vote in this contest. I think Il cut the ticket out of every paper I get bold of, if only to show the the interest we ail bave in it. S. W. Cobb: Ties is an original propostion and an excellentidea. The teachers who re- celve the largest vote will indeedape lucky. F. E. Zelle: Trust the PostT-DIsPATCH to get up something entirely original. The plan is a good one, andthe vote should bea large one. J. D. Abele: I never heard of such a proposition before. Itis certainly a remark- ably good one for the scboo!m isstresses, many of whom nave looked forwardtoa European trip without having the money to make it. . B. Louderman, Jr.: G to Egrope free of cost, even carriage billes? Ishould say the the two ladies elected for the trip will be ex- tremely lucky. D. P'. Rowland: ‘‘It’s an interest ing con- test, indeed. It will give the Attle folks, and the big ones, too, a chance to name their lavorite lady teacher. Andrew Haley: The talk among schoo! children Indicate that the vote will be im- mente, and that it will be divided among a big Held of candidates.’’ A. B. Metcalfe: The PoOs8T-DISPATCH, as is its custom, bas come to the front with some- thing decidedly novel and interesting. The school ohildren are worked up and they will do some heavy voting. Capt. Thomas Fruchte:* ‘‘If I was a school- boy I would see that my teacher got her share of votes City Counselor Bell: There are many popu- lar lady teachers inthe city and the contest will accordingly be watched with much in- teres?.’’ 0 Henry G. Paschall: The successful teach ers can do much for St. Louis if they eve i | 2 have a 1 the very great opportunities which the Post- DISPATCH so generously gives them. I like the dea. Attorney FP. W. Fauntieroy; The teachers rm friend in the Post-DIsPaTcH. Everybody should vote andthe best teachers should take the trip.’’ Circuit Attorney Ashiey C. Clover: It two teachers are sent who will keep their eyes open and improve their opportunities while they are across the water they can do muon good in educational circles when they return. True worth should govern the citizens im their balloting.’’ Attorney Charies B. Smythe: ‘‘The move is one in the right direction, and the Post. DISPATCH deserves great credit for its enter- prise. The benefits which two intelligent ladies one receive from the trip are almost innumer- able. Charles Hazeltine: It is a pleasant and very substantial recognitien of a very desery- : It is a present which any teacher is certain to appreciate, and the POST- DISPATCH deserves great credit for its enterprise.’’ Adrian Dozier: ‘‘Anyone who has ever been to Europe will appreciate what a magnificent gift the Post-DISPATCH is making the teach- ers.

The Post-D1IsPaTCH certainly carries off the palm for ideas. Daniel Kirby: ‘‘The European voting con- test will be remembered with the Cbristmas- tree.

DO MEN’S HEADS SWELL? Mr. Gladstene’s Head Said te Have Devel- oped With His Mental Faculties. From the New York WORLD. The London correspondent of the New York WORLD recently wrote: ‘‘I have heard from an authentic source a curious fact concerning Mr. Gladstone. One of his most remarkable physical characteristics ts the size of his head. It is altogether exceptional. Recently a trusted follower of his was visit- ing’ at Hawarden, and one evening the conversation turned on phrenology. Needless to say Gladstone had Included this empircal sclence in his limitiess studies. ‘I am a dit ot a phrenologist myself, said he, ‘and here is a vircumstance that will surprise you. Within the last twenty years my head has grown considerably in size, and 1 can demonstrate itto you.’ Theold man hied off to an adjoining room and returned with an old Court bat. He explained shat it belonged toauntform he had used early in his official career. Said Mr. Gladstone, placing the hat on his head, ‘this was large enough for me when I got it, but itis much too small for me now!“ And soit was—it did not go down on his head atall. He confessed that the al- teration in the size of his head puzzied him, and declared he bad never heard ofa similar oase. The readers ofthe WORLD in this country have been sending letters in regard to this singular statement. The opinions of phy- siclans, scientists, or elderly men who con- fess a similar enlargement of the head will be welcomed. Mr. Gladstone’s Head. LONDON, March 15.—Very seldom does a newspaper paragraph get more widely quoted than a statement in this correspondence a few weeks ago about the curious enlargement of Mr. Gladstone’s head. The venerable states man has had noead of letters upon the sub- ject, most of which, obliging as he is on such matters, have had to remain unanswered. But the St. James’ Gazette hae started a corre- spondence column based on the paragraph, in which the phenomenon is digcussed from almost every standpoint. Following are sev- eral of the letters printed, and they goa great way towards showing waether or not old men may expect to have gwetied heads. Jean give thé folloWing somewhat analo- gous, though not quite parallel, case. For some thirty years my father and my uncle were in the habit of daily attending tue office of the business they were jointly managing. For many years their beads were «s llar in size that there used to be frequent 8 sputes between them as tothe milsappropriation of hats. Later in life, however, a mistake of this kind became impossible, not that one head had grown more than the other, but because the two heads developed quite different shapes, one elongating, the other widening. They used to ascribe the change tothe marked difference in their re- spective studies; one being devoted to the pursuit of the higher mathematios, the other an eager student of antiquity and history. Perhaps, also, in Mr. Gladstone’s case the present misfit may be absoribable to change of shape, as well as to inorease in bulk. If 0, it would be Interesting to know whether the same phenomenon is observable in other members of his party—Sir William Harcourt, for instance. H. ARTHUR SMITH. 1 New square, Lincoin’s Inn, March h. In connection with the paracraph which ap- pears in to-day’s St. James’ Gazette under the above heading, I should like to peimt out two circumstances well known among actors— namely, that old men oftem wear large hats, pushed right on to their heads, and that to in- crease the apparent size of the head makes aman look older. This can only be due to the average size of old men’s heads being greater than those of young men; and In the course of my own observations! have frequently seen old heads which on young shoulders would have looked immense. W. R. STAVELEY. Coventry Club, March 12. Str—Will you allow me to suggestay simple explanation of the phenomenon of the alteration In capacity between M. Gladstone’s head and his hat—namely, that the hat has shrunk? It is the manner of hats todoso when put away. The hatters find, I believe, that they have to devrease the size of their customers’ hats as they pass beyond the mer- idiam of life, especially if the hat falls off. Mr. Gladstone’s hatters have, no doubt, the means of testing the truth of the matter. Reform Club, March 12. O. T. DUKE. Mr. Gladstome’s personality is always as interesting as it is remarkable; and the ‘‘sin- gular phenomenon’’ you quote to-day from the New York WORLD may seem surprising to the uninitiated. The generally accepted u is that the maximum size and weight ofthe brain occurs about 50 years of age in the male, after which there is either a period of no change in either or a slight failing off in weight. he change in the — a of the head alluded to in your extract is no doubt due, not to any Change lu the brain size, but to alter- ation in the shape of the cranial bones. As old age comes on there occurs a flattenin of tie cranial vertex, with a correspon enlargement of the cranial circumference. There is also very frequently a deposition of osseous substance, leading to a thickening of the cranial bones. This will ccount for the phenomeron which ed Mr. Gladstone.

THEY ARE MADE BY PETER F. DAILEY AGAINST CERTAIN SCHOOL DIRECTORS. Director Macklin Anuounces That He Will Swear Out a Warrant Against Dailey for Criminal Libel—Cari Danzer Makes a Reply to Director Reimler’s Assertions— The Cases in the Conrt of Appeals. The fight between the factions in the School Board has been an ugly one fromthe start, but the charges of boodling which are being made promise more interestingglevelopments than have been expected. It is now openly charged by Peter P. Dalley, whose name has been connected with the Standing- Kelly con- test, that certain directors of the School Board received money from the agent of a book trust. In speaking to a PosT-DISPATCH reporter this afternoon Mr. Dailey sald: „I have been unjustiy accused of illegal practices while officiating as judge of election in the 126th precinet of the Twenty-fourth Ward on the day of the last school election. It is charged that I stuffed the boxes. The charges have been made by men who would do anything up to scuttling aship, and I do not think that coming from the sources they Go they injure me in the estimation of the respectable part of the community. But nevertheless these charges are being given so much publicity that naturally enough I fear that there might be some decent per- sons ignorant enough to entertain them, and therefore I wish to let the public know the facts and something of the character of themenwho are making their argument against me. The statement which has been made that I was alone in the poll at any time during the day, or that I handled the ballots, ie a lie. I knew very well that there were some men who would not hesitate to say anything against me, and I was particularly careful that they should not have any grounds on which to base a charge of unfairness. When those ballots were counted there were seven or eight men in the poll, among them being Mr. Coffey, who was one of the candidates. Either Mr. J. D. O’Keefe or Mr. Quinlivan, the other two judges, was In the poll with me all the time, and moreover there were citizens inthe poll almost during the entire day. As far as those marked bal- lots are concerned, all I have got to say is that if there is aught about them which looks suspicious that it was put there by the men them after the boxes were opened by the order of the 8choo! Board. Now, who are these men who mate the charge of ballot- box stuffing against me?“ con- tinved Mr, Dailey, growing warm. ‘‘A gang of freebooters, that is ull they are. Why, two tbem have money in thelr pockets now which they received from a book syndicate.’’ Lan you prove that?“ „Well, if I can’t I am able for it.“ **When was the money paid?“ Six hundred dollars of it was paid before the Turner Hallticket was nominated on an agreement as tothe mannerin which a cer- tin committee was to be constituted.’’ When was the rest paid?’’ Well, one of the directors got his on the last Friday in February, and it was carried up to His office by another director. MACKLIN SAYS ITS LIBEL. Director Wm. PF. Macklin, whose name has been used by Pete Dailey in a way which casts a reflection on him, said this afternoon that the statements of Daley were the most in- famously false which had ever been con- cocted, and he proposed to make application for a warrant for criminal libel immediately. It is reported that othermen whose Hames have been used by Dailey will take similar ac- tion. The friends of the directors who have been accused of receiving money say that on the face of it the statement isa lle. It is claimed that the money was paid by an agent of a cer- tain firm which is represented in the book trust. Another firm of the trust now has the contract for the schoo! oupply. and according to the trust agreement it fs said to be impos- sible for one firm of the syndicate to cut into anotber’s business. DAENZER’S DENIAL. In the POST-DISPATOCH of March 4, I find an interview with Mr. August Reimler, in which there occurs the following,’’ said Mr. Carl Daenzer this morning: „Je it true, he was asked, that the state- ment published in the SUNDAY Post-Dis- PATCH In regard to your property transactions was in existence some time before the quo warranto proceedings were brought against any of the directors?’’ „„es, they had it made up a couple of weeks before.’’ e Who?“ „Mr. Gwen Campbell and Fielding Mans- fieid.’’ Were you notified of its existence?’’ es. „By whom?“ ‘*By Carl Daenzer.’’ ‘*Were you given to understanc that if reor- ganization was defeated it would not be used?“ _ *E was. Idid pot think. however, that I bad done anything which would not bear in- vyestigation.’’ | It the foregoing means that I had pro- posed or hinted to Mr. Reimler or any other person a bargainin regard to dismissing the quo warranto proceedings against him or the other four School Directors, I must contradict the statement emphatically. I did not even think of it, I have neither talent nor disposi- tion for sueh bargains, nor have I ever been present when one was made. „Wat I said to Mr. Reimler was this: I ad- vised him to postpone the reorganization of the Schoo! Board until the courts had passed finally upon the writs of quo warranto. It would certainly have been reasonabie to postpone the reorganization until the dis. uted qualification of the four members of the chool Board had been decided. Writs of quo warranto bad not been issued against Mr. Relmler at the time of his visit to my office. 1 was therefore more than surprised by the question he asked me, to-wit: ‘*‘Would the writs of quo warranto be dismissed provided the solid eleven members of the School Board would drop the plan of reorganiza- tion?’’ Laughing heartily I answered that had nothing to- do with the suits; but from all I knew of the origina- tors of the quo warranto proceedings I was fully convinced that they would not accept duch a proposition; but under all circum- stances that they would prosecute the cases until final adjudication was had in the courts; that the gentiemen who held this matter in their hands did not care about individual par- ties in the School Board, but their chief aim was the enforcement of the law, ang it was Immaterlal to them whether it would strike Millerites or Aulerites. What they wanted was ‘daylight’ on tax receipts. Such was my conversation with Mr. Reimler. Names were not mentioned, and no _ propositions were made by me. Personally I have nothing to ao with the School Board confusion.’’ They Are Directors, Messrs. L. D. Dozier, Patrick J. Kelly ara Jeremmh Sheeban are full-fledged, duly qualified and unquestioned members or directors in the Louls Board of Public Schools. So sald the Court of Appeals and Circuit Attorney Clover acknowledged it yesterday. Just after Messrs. Macklin, Bollman, Rogers and Bartholdt were summoned to appear before the Court of Appeals, and explain why they held their te in the School Board, essrs. Bosley and Macklin employed August Gehner to examine into the affairs ot several other members of the board. Mr. reported that Messers. Doster, Sheehan and Kelly had not paid a school tax for two years prior their election. With this information Messrs. Bosley and Macklin hastened to Oircait Attorney Clover and told him be had missed 4a School Board members and requested him to begin quo warranto proceedings against the three named gentiemen. Mr. vers ver refused to do so until he had the certifi- cate of Mr. Gehner, which was afterward fur- nished, and be applied for the writs. Gath- ering up their deeds and tax receipts, Messrs. Dozier, Sheehan ana Kelly appeared in court on the day summoned. WITHOUT AN ATIORNEY, but with three well written legal documenzs. which they handed th as their returns to the charges made th St. , n = ’ 2 Case jad stand or fall on the facts. Mr. Clower Gemurred to these returns, saying they did not state sufficient facts. he court overruled Mr. Olover’s demurrer and said that if he did not plead further in the ent would be rendered in favor of zier, Kelly and Sheehan on their Mr. Clover was not in in his 1 Messrs. statements of facts. court at the time but put rance this morning. He he had seen the tax ro- ceipts of the three S but as the taxes had been paid by the firms to which they be- longed and not by each one individually be demurred to their returns, not | whether that was sufficient or would con- strued as having paid a school tax. Since the Court bad overruled his demurrer on thie point, and practically decided that where a firm, of which a School Director is a member, has paid a school tax for two con- secutive Ar prior to the election of auch director, it will be taken as tho he had paid the tax individually, he b nothing urther to say. He bad seen the tax receipts and would piead no further. Judgment will now Dé rendered in favor of Dozier, Kelly and Sheehan on their returns. ; Attorneys Bashaw and Clark made a brief argument on their demurrer to ef- fect that the information. led by Cir- cult Attorney Clover did mot state that the School Board was a corporation, and not having said so, he could not charge Messrs. Macklin, Rogers, Bollman and Bartholdt With holding seats In the corporation. While making his argument Judge Bashaw said: our Honor, we are in a quandry and hardly know which track to follow.“ „Tou can get out of the quandry very eaaily,’’ said the Court. Show your tax receipts,.’’ Mr. Given Campbell made no argument whatever in response to this, but let the Cours act without his sug«eestions. Nearing the End. The quo warranto proceedings pending in Court of Appeals against Messrs. Macklin, Rogers, Bollman and Bartholdt, took a sharp turn this morning which it is admitted will re- sult in quieting the School Board disturb- ance and leaving the board the same as when the fight began. From a legal point of view this conflict has been actually fascinat- ing. The Drabelle act, passed March 80, 1887. under which the present School ard was elected, has always been considered weak and unconstitutional. The occasion to learn positively whether the belief was correct has never been offered until the present time. Whenthe four directors, Macklin, Rogers, Bollman and Bartholadt, weresummoned be- fore the Court of Appeals by the Circuit At- torney to show why they held their seats, it was charged that contrary to sec. 6 of the Drabelle law these men were holding office, when they had got paid a school tax fortwo consecutive years prior to their election. There was too much truth in the statement for the gentlemen to attempt to PROVE IT OTHERWISE, so they filed a demurrer by their attorney, F. M. Estes, saying the Drabelle law was uncon- stitutional in this, that one of its provisions relating to cities in this State of 300,000 inhabitants or more made ita loca! law governin St. Louis alone, which, under the Constitution, could not nold: also, that sec. 6 embraced several subjects when it should embrace only one and also thatthe subject of the act je not clearly stated in its title. The Court of Appeals refused to pass on the constitutionality of the law, saying the Supreme Court would be left that duty. The Court commanded the respondents to file areturn stating all the facts they possessed. To do this would be suicidal and it was de- cided to take the case to the Supreme Court, have the law declared unconstitutional as every one believed it would be, oust the entire School Board, recall the School Board of 1886 and call a special election. This wasaheroic move, but the only one left the respondents. Judge Bashaw went to Jefferson City and Messrs. Miller and Macklin were sum- moned to appear April 8. Instead of fling an amended return in the Court of Appeals last Monday Mr. Estes filed a de- murrer saying the information filed by Mr, Clover did not state sufficient facts, and fur- ther that section6 of the Drabelle act, not the whole law, was unconstitutional. The court was expécted to pass on this demurre? this morning, but to the surprise of the tor - neys Judge Rom bauer presented the following agreement or stipulation which he asked them to sign, and which Attorneys Campbell, Estes, Bashaw aud Clark did sign. THE COURT’S CONDITIONS. Whereas, the State in the above three cates has filed its informations charging the re- spondents, Macklin, Rogers. Kollman re- spectively, with having usurped the office of Director of the Board of President and Diract- ors of the St, Louis Public Schools without being duly qualified thereforand duly elected thereto and particularily in this, that the respondents have not paid a school tax in the City of St. Louis tor two consecutlve years immediately pre- ceding their election, and whereas the re- spondents are desirous of raising the question as to their qualifications by demurrers to the information, by treating that part of the in- formation charging @special disqualification, as the only parts of the information charging affirmative facts avoiding their election and have filed their demurrers to the information for the purpose of raising thatissue. Now, therefore, It is hereby agreed bythe relator and the of such oak hereby 2 ents have deen duly qualified in all other respects, except in so far as the non-payment of such school taxes , RENDERED THEM INELIGIRSLE, and thatthe question whichis r&iged and sub- mitted to the court for decision upon such de- murrers is, whether the section of the law re- quiring the consecutive payment of a school tax for two years immediately preceding an election is constitutionally vaiid, on which question the relator maintains the affirmative and the respondents the negative. In case the court should decide that question In respondents’ favor, final judgment is to goin favor of respondents upon the demur- rers and in case the judgment ofthe court is adverse to respondents, the respondents are to have leave if they so desire to file at once thelr returns showing and to show that the have paid the school taxes mentioned. Their qualifications and elec- tions In all other respects being admitted issues shall be made up by the returns and replies lu such event on the question of the payment of the taxes hereinbé ne mentioned alone. 122 HAS THEIR TIME PASSED?” This is nothing more than a prow court to the effect, It you wing us pass On this one section and net we will do so and put your mind run tow | ually, but by As it is 8 ' bellevad and particularily sect. ; tional the of A als On the other hand, it is ur respondents bave been electe er that section and accepted not now come and claim 1 constitutional.

Lone BRANCH, March 27.—Miss Lizzie Van Note, the 20-year-old daughter of Blacksmith O. Van Note, fs called one of the belles of North Long Sranch. Tuesday evening, while she was near her home, a number of young men, concealed behind fences and trees, threw rotten eggs at her. With cries of alarm and with her dress ruined she ran to her home. A sharp search was made for her as- sailants, the names of many of whom have deen learned. The affair created much ex- citement in the streets, for it occurred at an early hour and the assailants could be seen, but many of them escaped. In the after- noon Constable Wooley, armed with warrants, arrested Wm. White, colored, Sot White, his white half brother, and John Hennessey and George Robbins, Jr., the latter two havin — of good repute.
